NASA has announced the discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star that shares several other similarities with ...

Astonishingly, we can identify molecules present in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

Detecting exoplanets is one thing, but imaging them is another thing entirely. Astronomers can detect them by the way they block their star's light and by the way they make their stars wobble, and ...

"In our solar system, the most massive moon is Ganymede, which is still extremely small compared to what we are inferring here." ...

NASA’s AI, ExoMiner++, is scanning TESS data, flagging 7,000 potential exoplanets. Open-source and powerful, it separates real planets from false signals, accelerating discoveries of new worlds.

Explore how astronomers aim to identify signs of alien life by analysing the atmospheres of distant exoplanets through innovative techniques.

Astronomers have discovered Gl725Bc, the second closest potentially habitable exoplanet to the Earth. The discovery was made ...

Trained on data from NASA's exoplanet-hunting missions, the open-source ExoMiner++ deep learning model uses an advanced ...

An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering ...

Gravitational microlensing is a transient but powerful phenomenon that occurs when a foreground mass – such as a star or a planetary system – temporarily magnifies the light from a more distant ...
