Elon Musk recently said he is “not chomping at the bit to acquire TikTok.” Musk made those remarks during an interview at the ...

Astronomers have discovered HD 20794 d, a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a star just 20 light-years away. This potentially habitable planet lies in a region where conditions might ...

NASA has been a symbol of human creativity, curiosity, and resolve since its founding on October 1, 1958. NASA was America's ambitious reaction to the Soviet Union's early achievements in space ...

Exoplanet WASP-127b is a hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet orbiting very close to its star. The system is more than 500 light-years away, and observations suggest that it has dramatic weather and a ...

Data collected in this process called for careful analysis, according to researcher Kazumasa Ohno, opening up new knowledge on the exoplanet atmosphere. Super-Venus GJ 1214 b offers new insights ...

Supersonic winds on this exoplanet, designated WASP-127b, travel at a mind-bending 5.5 miles per second (9 kilometers per second). The speed of sound on Earth is roughly 0.21 miles per second (0. ...

Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds on WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet, reaching speeds of up to 33,000 km/h. This marks the fastest jetstream ever measured on a planet. The discovery, ...

Lisa Nortmann at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and her colleagues used the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile to observe WASP-127b, a giant gas exoplanet more ...

Artist’s impression of GJ 1214 b passing in front of its host star. The “transit method” allows astronomers to study an exoplanet by seeing which wavelengths of light dim when the star’s light passes ...

This Collection highlights the results from the Early Science Release programme of the JWST telescope focused on transiting hot giant exoplanets. With its extended wavelength range and its ...

"The rate at which the planet is evaporating is utterly cataclysmic, and we are incredibly lucky to be witnessing the final hours of this dying planet." Using NASA's exoplanet-hunter TESS ...
