A new study has identified a potentially record-breaking haul of transiting exoplanets, thanks to a machine learning ...

Scientists have discovered unexpected water-ice clouds on a distant, Jupiter-like exoplanet, challenging current atmospheric ...

Starlight has been the key to finding thousands of exoplanets over the past decade, but researchers have found a new way to ...

New research suggests that many planets previously considered promising for life may, in fact, be far less hospitable. A ...

Astronomers may have just uncovered over 10,000 new exoplanet candidates in a single sweep, potentially tripling our known tally of alien worlds. Using a machine learning algorithm to sift through ...

Astronomers have discovered 41 new alien planets in one sweep by analyzing how each world gravitationally yanks on its neighbors. The newly confirmed exoplanets were spotted by NASA's prolific Kepler ...

This not-so-little piece of equipment could change astronomy forever. And it could be about to find alien life. Maybe in a ...

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a unique planet in another star system that’s shaped like a lemon. The lopsided Jupiter-style planet is so bizarre that it may blur the ...

Alien solar systems that are home to so-called "hot Jupiters" — gas giants circling sizzlingly close to their stars — are unlikely homes for Earth-like planets, researchers say. Hot Jupiters get their ...
