NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been used to discover Earth-size planet TOI 700 e. It is "orbiting ...

A new study has uncovered how exoplanets, orbiting too close to their stars to retain water, are surprisingly water-rich.

Experiments at high temperatures and pressures reveal chemistry that can generate water on the surface of exoplanets ...

Using JWST, scientists mapped WASP-18b’s atmosphere in 3D, revealing blazing regions where water molecules split apart.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made the first 3D map of an alien planet's atmosphere, revealing ...

As telescopes have become more powerful, it’s turned out our solar system is not the only game in town: There are millions of ...

A giant exoplanet orbiting a nearby dwarf star has been found in an ideal location for next-generation telescopes to search for potential signs of life. The discovery of a potential “super-Earth” loca ...

A new study suggests mysterious water worlds may be manufacturing their own oceans through chemical reactions deep within ...

A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

New experiments show young rocky planets can generate water naturally when molten surfaces react with hydrogen in their early atmospheres.

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...
