On balconies and in backyards, Wi-Fi–enabled telescopes are connecting astronomy enthusiasts across six continents.

Here we look at some of the most habitable exoplanets ever discovered ranked through their similarity to Earth. The result is a list of 16 exoplanets that could one say serve as an Earth 2.0 ...

Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers have made detailed observations of the mysterious exoplanet WASP-121 b. The discoveries of the element titanium and ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — A physics student at Reed College has discovered eight new possible exoplanets in the Milky Way. His name is Mohamed Jassim Munavar Hussain, and he's an international student ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered an exoplanet that defies the usual pace of time. WASP-121b, located 900 light-years away, has a year that lasts only 30 hours, 10 times faster than ...

The first "disintegrating" exoplanet is a Neptune-size rocky world called K2-22b, which zips around its star so closely that it completes an orbit in just nine hours. Scientists say the star's ...

Chlorophyll-using organisms thrived, turning Earth’s general look from purple to green. Astrobiologists suspect exoplanets might host creatures that still rely on retinal. “If the Purple Earth ...

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

(Courtesy: ESO/L Calçada) Astronomers have constructed the first “weather map” of the exoplanet WASP-127b, and the forecast there is brutal. Winds roar around its equator at speeds as high as 33 000 ...

Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms. WASP-121b, nicknamed ...

NASA has officially confirmed over 5,000 exoplanets. These worlds include icy, rocky, and gas planets with unique characteristics. Some could even harbor life. Among the most fascinating are ...
