Our circumstances here on the wondrous, life-supporting Earth can give us a false understanding of what the universe is ...

Of all the exoplanets astronomers have found with ages less than 50 million years, TOI 1227 b stands out for having the ...

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized exoplanet, TOI-2431 b, on a death spiral. The planet orbits its star in just five hours and 22 minutes, making it an exoplanet with one of the shortest orbit ...

I learned that potential signs of life were discovered on an exoplanet called K2-18b, which is 120 light-years away from Earth.

Astronomers have uncovered major size errors in TESS planet data, suggesting we’ve found fewer Earth-like exoplanets than we believed.

NASA has found a new “Super Earth” planet just 154 light-years away that’s sending out a strange, repeating signal. The planet, named TOI‑1846 b, is about twice as wide as Earth and around four times ...

WASP-121b, an already unusual planet, might have a remote origin that explains some of its peculiar properties—from iron rain ...
