The James Webb Space Telescope has directly observed the key chemical of carbon dioxide in planets outside of our solar system for the first time, ...

For years, astronomers have searched the cosmos for planets capable of supporting life. Most efforts focus on the "habitable zone," the region around a star where a planet could have liquid water. But ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope uncovered a new milestone in exoplanet research by capturing images of exoplanets containing carbon dioxide in their ...

NASA's Webb telescope has captured images of multiple planets in a nearby star system, confirming that Webb can infer exoplanet atmospheres' chemistry.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed.

It's rare for any observatory to directly image a planet beyond our solar system, called an exoplanet, but the powerful James Webb Space Telescope has captured four of them in the stellar system HR ...

Studying young gas giant exoplanets' compositions and orbits could help us better understand how our own solar system's gas ...

A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system, according to a new study.

A new study has revealed the structure of extreme winds on WASP-121b, a gas giant located 1,300 light-years away. This ...

Studying young gas giant exoplanets' compositions and orbits could help us better understand how our own solar system's gas ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 ...

The discovery is keeping astronomers on their toes about how planets are formed.
