A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

How many exoplanets orbit two stars? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to ...

Discovered in archival data, the newly identified exoplanet formed after the dinosaurs went extinct. In a finding that echoes ...

Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet ...

In astronomy, there is a concept called "degeneracy." It has nothing to do with delinquent people, but instead is used to ...

Scientists harnessing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

Analysis of early direct images from James Webb telescope show immense dust clouds on brown dwarf that lead to a blurring of atmospheric lines—and scientific consensus ...

Astronomers are uncovering distant worlds beyond our solar system using ingenious indirect methods like observing stellar ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

An “extra exceptional” Tatooine-like exoplanet, orbiting two suns, has been discovered. Astronomers say the “huge” new world ...

Team member Nathalie Jones of the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) assessed GPI ...

Astronomers using the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile have now obtained the first direct confirmation of an exoplanet discovered by radial velocity. As the planet “Beta Pictoris c” ...
