Venus Never Had Oceans or Conditions to Support Life, New Study Finds
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have concluded that Venus likely never had oceans or conditions to support life. Their study, published in Nature Astronomy, analysed atmospheric chemistry and volcanic activity. They found that volcanic gases lacked significant steam, indicating the planet's interior has always been dry. This research ha...

Neptunian Ridge Discovery: Scientists Map New Planet Zone in Space
A groundbreaking study by University of Warwick scientists has revealed a new region in space called the Neptunian Ridge. This discovery shows how planets move between harsh desert zones where atmospheres are stripped away and safer savannah regions where they can survive. The research provides crucial insights into planetary migration and evolutio...

After NASA Adds 301 New Planets, New UCLA Algorithm Helps Find Another 366 Exoplanets
Just a day after NASA scientists said that they have found 301 new exoplanets, astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have stated that they identified 366 new exoplanets using data from the Kepler space telescope.

NASA Discovers Signs of First Planet Outside Milky Way Galaxy
NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope has found hints of what could be the first planet discovered outside our Milky Way galaxy. The possible signal discovered is located in the Messier 51 galaxy, some 28 million light-years away from Earth.

Scientists to Look for Signs of Life in Newly Discovered Exoplanet
Searching for traces of life on Mars, like NASA is doing, is one thing. But scientists are also looking further afield. Could it be found beyond our solar system? A study published in the prestigious journal Science reveals the discovery of a new exoplanet that could be instrumental in the hunt.

Researchers Rediscover 'Lost Planet' Using New Method in Another Step Towards Finding Habitable Planets
Researchers from University of Warwick in the UK rediscovered the planet named NGTS-11b using the Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) telescopes in Chile. The planet was originally found in 2018 using data from NASA’s TESS telescope which scans for a dip in light from the star to identify a planet.

Scientists Discover a New Planet Hidden in a Debris Disk of a Young Star
Astronomers have a found a new exoplanet hiding in the debris disk of a star. Dubbed as AU Mic b, the exoplanet was found after decades of search, around the red dwarf star, AU Microscopii that is roughly 32 light-years away.

100 New Exoplanets Discovered Just 3 Months With NASA's Kepler Telescope
An international team of astronomers have discovered more than 100 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) -- that revolve around stars other than the Sun -- in only three months, using a combination of ground- and space-based telescopes.

New Exoplanet Twice The Size Of Earth Found 245 Light Years Away
Using data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, an international team of scientists has discovered a new exoplanet twice the size of Earth and about 145 light years away

NASA Says 1,284 New Planets Found By Kepler Telescope
NASA announced on Tuesday the discovery of 1,284 new planets outside our solar system, more than doubling the number of exoplanets found with the Kepler space telescope.

New Way to Measure Gravity Can Spot Alien Life
If you find a planet around a star that you think is Sun-like but is actually a giant, you may have fooled yourself into thinking you've found a habitable Earth-sized world.

Venus-Like Planet Found 39 Light Years Away
Astronomers have discovered a new Venus-like rocky exoplanet 39 light years away, which may be cool enough to potentially host an atmosphere.

Planet found orbiting Sun-like star
Three new exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars in the Messier 67 star cluster and one of them circles a star that is nearly identical to the Sun, according to European Southern Observatory, or ESO, officials.
