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 ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed the first-ever reflectance spectra — essentially a color-coded key — of the ...

An exoplanet completely or densely covered by clouds could aid astronomers in their search for signs of life beyond Earth. Cloudy skies may spoil a picnic or block a view of the stars through a ...

Researchers have come up with a color-coded key that could prove crucial in detecting signs of life on exoplanet clouds.

What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...

Learn how exoplanets are discovered, what makes planets beyond our solar system unique, and how they drive the ongoing search ...

Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James Webb ...

(CNN) — Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system. In 1995, a gas giant named 51 Pegasi b, which orbits a star similar to Earth's sun, etched its name in history as the first exoplanet ever ...

There are no confirmed exomoons, moons orbiting distant exoplanets in other solar systems. There are a few candidates, but ...
