Indian Scientists Discover A Massive Exoplanet That is Five Times Larger Than Earth
Indian scientists have identified a new exoplanet named TOI-6651b, which is five times larger than Earth and has a mass around 60 times greater. Located in the Neptunian desert, it orbits a Sun-like star every 5.06 days. The planet's composition suggests unique evolutionary processes, providing valuable insights into how such dense exoplanets form ...

NASA Captures Stunning 'Cosmic Jewellery' 15,000 Light Years From Earth
NASA explained that the Necklace Nebula was formed by a duo of aging Sun-like stars in close orbit. Initially, one of the aging stars expanded and swallowed its smaller companion.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures "Last Gasp" Of Dying Binary Star System
NGC 2346 is a so-called "planetary nebula," which is ejected from Sun-like stars which are near the ends of their lives.

In Search For Earth-Like Habitable Planets, Scientists Find A 6-Pack Orbiting Sun-Like Star
The discovery made the news because of the unusual nature of the planets, which are locked into a resonance with one another.

Study Finds Continents In Milky Way That Are Older Than Earth's
The research found that first continents formed around nearby Sun-like stars at least 5 billion years earlier than Earth's plate tectonics began.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Shot Of A Newborn Sun-Like Star
The rare image features jets of star matter blasting from the poles of a very young star and zipping through space at supersonic speeds.

Supermassive Black Hole Spotted Eating Sun-Like Star in Nearby Galaxy
Black holes, celestial objects known for their gluttony, usually eat stars unlucky enough to stray too close to them in one big gulp, annihilating them with their enormous gravitational pull. But some, it turns out, tend to snack rather than gorge. Researchers said they have observed a supermassive black hole at the center of a relatively nearby ga...

Sun-Like Star "Repeatedly Shredded, Consumed By Black Hole" Spotted By Astronomers
The star, known as Swift J0230, follows an elliptical orbit around a low-mass black hole situated at the centre of its galaxy.

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 Detects Signs of Water on Distant ‘WASP-96 b’ Planet
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) detected signs of water and evidence of clouds and haze, in the atmosphere of WASP-96 b, located roughly 1,150 light-years away in the southern-sky constellation Phoenix, and one of more than 5,000 confirmed exoplanets in the Milky Way. The most detailed observation of its kind to date, it demonstrates Webb'...

NASA's James Webb Telescope Detects Water On Distant Planet. Details Here
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected signs of water, along with evidence for clouds and haze, in the atmosphere of a hot, puffy gas giant planet orbiting a Sun-like star over a thousand light years away, the US space agency said today.

NASA Launches First of Three Rockets to Investigate Alpha Centauri, Study Habitable Star Conditions
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has successfully launched the first of three rockets that will be heading to the stars Alpha Centauri A and B. The X-ray Quantum Calorimeter (XQC) mission was launched on June 26 from Australia. It is the first NASA mission launched from a commercial facility outside the US. With two more lau...

Scientists Explore if the Mysterious ‘Wow!’ Signal in 1977 Come From a Sun-Like Star 1,800 Light-Years Away
A study recently published on May 6 indicates that the signal likely came from a Sun-like star located 1,800 light-years away from the Earth, in the constellation Sagittarius. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), which has been looking for intelligent lifeforms in the universe, is still studying the signal.

Earth-Like Exoplanet Found Orbiting a Sun-Like Star a Little Over 3,000 Light Years Away: Study
Planet KOI-456.04' is thought to be similar to Earth for several reasons. It is said to have a similar distance between its sun - Kepler-160 - with an orbit that takes it 378 days to complete. It also thought to receive 93 percent as much light as Earth gets from the Sun.
