In A First, Astronomers Reveal 3D Structure Of Alien Planet's Atmosphere
Astronomers for the first time have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere of a planet beyond our solar system.

A Neptune-Like Exoplanet Is Racing Through Space at Record Speed
Scientists have detected an exoplanet racing through space at 1.2 million mph, making it the fastest known planet. The Neptune-sized world orbits a hypervelocity star, first hinted at in 2011 via gravitational microlensing. Astronomers, using Keck Observatory and Gaia data, have confirmed the system’s extreme speed, suggesting it may even leave t...

Newly Confirmed Super-Earth HD 20794 d May Support Life in Habitable Zone
A super-Earth, HD 20794 d, has been confirmed within a habitable zone 20 light years from Earth. The planet, first detected in 2022, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits a sun-like star. Although its elliptical orbit affects temperature stability, its potential to sustain liquid water makes it a key target for upcoming space missions. Scie...

"Super-Jupiter", One Of Coldest Exoplanets, Detected 12 Light Years Away
Previously imaged exoplanets tend to be the youngest, hottest exoplanets that are still radiating much of the energy from when they first formed, according to the authors of the study.

Exoplanet Near Earth May Be First Known Ocean World, Finds NASA's Webb Telescope
A planet relatively close to Earth could be the first ever detected with a potentially life-sustaining liquid ocean outside our Solar System, according to scientists using the James Webb space telescope.

A Distant Exoplanet Smells Like Rotten Eggs, Study Says
This discovery marks one of the first detections of hydrogen sulfide on an exoplanet, a planet outside our solar system.

This Distant Star Has 2 'Earth-Sized' Habitable Planets Orbiting It
Astronomers discovered the first exoplanet around a Sun-like star in 1995. The field of exoplanet discovery and research has been rapidly evolving ever since.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Discovers Its First Exoplanet
LHS 475 b's size as an Earth-sized terrestrial planet was confirmed by JWST, however the exoplanet's atmosphere has not yet been determined.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Detects Carbon Dioxide in Exoplanet Atmosphere
The James Webb Space Telescope has, for the first time, detected evidence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the solar system. The evidence has been spotted on the exoplanet WASP-39 b, which was discovered in 2011.

Astronomers Spot Two Earth-Like Planets in a Nearby Multiplanet System
In a significant discovery, astronomers have spotted one of the closest known multiplanet systems located within our galactic neighbourhood. The system is about 10 parsecs or 33 light-years from Earth and was identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

AI Algorithm Unveils Previously Unknown Arithmetic Underlying the Search for Exoplanets
A team of astronomers at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that AI can reveal unsuspected connections hidden in complex mathematics arising from general relativity. An AI algorithm built to locate exoplanets revealed that the theories employed to explain these findings were incomplete.
