The Hubble Space Telescope saw massive cyclones, storms, and weather chaos in the changing atmosphere of WASP-121b, a planet so hot it rains iron, sapphires, and rubies.
New discovery once again shows how strange planets outside the Solar System can get, and astronomers are thrilled.
Astronomers find the “hot Neptune desert” may result from ice-giants migrating away from their parent stars.
New observations of WASP-39b with the JWST has provided the clearest, most detailed picture of an exoplanet to date.
Astronomers have discovered a new, temperate sub-Neptune sized exoplanet with a 24-day orbital period orbiting a nearby M dwarf star.
Astronomers obtain the first direct evidence of hydroxyl molecules in the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System.
Though weak, researchers have detected what could be the first radio emissions collected from a planet outside our solar system.
What is the maximum number of habitable planets for a star, and what does this mean in our search for extraterrestrial life?
ESO telescope oberves an exoplanet 690 light years away where night and day surface temperature differences cause iron to rain from the sky.
New evidence suggests that an exoplanet discovered in 2015 has interior conditions that could support the existence of life.
