A newly detected super-Earth just 20 light-years away is giving scientists one of the most promising chances yet to search ...

A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three dimensions.

The milestone highlights the accelerating rate of discoveries, just over three decades since the first exoplanets were found. The official number of exoplanets — planets outside our solar system — ...

The team identified planets around three stars, including TOI-5799c, which may have an atmosphere and conditions suitable for liquid water.

Just decades after the first exoplanets were identified, our database of the distant worlds—monitored by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute—has breached a new threshold. Now, astronomers have ...

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

Astronomers have made a significant breakthrough in space exploration by discovering over 6,000 planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. This milestone has not only expanded our ...

A University of Arizona-led team discovered a growing planet, WISPIT 2b, forming inside a disk gap around a young star. The finding confirms theories that protoplanets carve out gaps in disks of gas ...

This eruption was a Coronal Mass Ejection, or CME. These events are huge blobs of plasma (highly ionized gas) and magnetic fields that rip away from the Sun’s outermost layer of atmosphere.

Astronomers have revealed that the real center of our solar system isn't the sun. Gravity is playing a part in everything. The barycenter is the center.
