New Planets Found

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...

A team of astronomers from Penn State and the SETI Institute has conducted a significant study on the TRAPPIST-1 star system, aiming to detect possible radio signals between its planets. Over 28 hours, they explored for indications of communication similar to those we use on Earth. Although no signals were found, the research highlighted promising ...

NASA's Curiosity rover is providing new insights into how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable planet, abundant in liquid water, to the inhospitable landscape seen today. Researchers discovered that carbon-rich minerals found in Gale Crater indicate extreme evaporation and suggest the planet's climate could support only transient liquid wa...

The researchers also determined that the gas giant orbits its star, similar in size to our Sun, once every 6.2 days.

Warming of the planet by 3 degrees Celsius may cost the world up to 10 per cent of its GDP, a new research has found. It also found that poorer, tropical countries could see the worst effects - up to 17% GDP loss.

The planet circles a red dwarf, which is smaller and cooler than the Sun.

Superman: Legacy has found its new Superman and Lois Lane. As per the Hollywood Reporter, David Corenswet (Pearl) has been set to play Clark Kent, while Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) stars as Daily Planet’s investigative journalist Lois Lane in the upcoming James Gunn film. They were among the six selected actors to screen test for...

A recently released set of topography maps provide new evidence for an ancient northern ocean on Mars.

Scientists are finding all sorts of weird worlds. They've now discovered a gas giant planet with the density of a marshmallow orbiting a cool red dwarf star located 580 light years from Earth. The planet, identified as TOI-3757 b, is the "fluffiest".

A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

A new study has explained how sand dunes can provide insight into weather and conditions one might experience while standing on a far-off planetary body. For dunes to exist, planets should pass a pair of “Goldilocks” criteria. The presence of such dunes on Venus, Earth, Mars, Titan, Triton (Neptune’s largest moon) and Pluto have given new hop...

Rogue planets have baffled astronomers for ages. Unlike regular planets which revolve around stars, these free-floating planets (FFPs) get ejected from star systems to move about in the galaxy on their own. In the latest discovery, astronomers found the largest cluster of rogue planets in a single star-forming region.

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.

Data from almost four decades ago can suggest the presence of a ninth planet in the Solar System. The hypothetical Planet Nine has been in the talks among scientists for some time but no one has yet observed it. Michael Rowan-Robinson, professor of astrophysics at Imperial College London, dived into 38-year-old data and now he claims to have found ...

NASA scientists have found evidence for a new transiting circumbinary planet. The term refers to any planet which orbits around two different stars. The evidence was received using an unprecedented technique.
