This is an artist’s impression of the exoplanet 2M1510 (AB) b’s unusual orbit around its host stars, a pair of brown dwarfs. The newly discovered planet has a polar orbit, which is ...

W ASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron. Now, astronomers ...

There are also suggestions that the exoplanet’s atmosphere may share similar traits to our own, such as the presence of nitrogen. “Our initial reconnaissance of LHS 1140 b with JWST has ...

Tracking exoplanets via orbital mechanics isn't easy. Plenty of variables could affect how a planet moves around its star, and determining which ones affect any given exoplanet requires a lot of ...

Why astronomers are unconvinced K2-18b is home to alien life : Short Wave Recently, a group of scientists claimed they found possible signs of life on a planet called K2-18b. The news made ...

Astronomers detected a distant exoplanet with iron rain. Iron is vaporized due to high daytime temperatures and then condenses into rain as it moves to the cooler night side, becoming rain.

Seidel and her colleagues analyzed the exoplanet’s atmosphere using all four telescope units of the ESO’s VLT. By tracing iron, sodium, and hydrogen, they were able to investigate the planet ...

K2-18b, an exoplanet 120 light-years away, may be the best hope to confirm that life exists beyond Earth. Here's what to know. Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ Funniest cap messages ...

The exoplanet, WASP-69 b, is a gas giant.It's around the same size as Jupiter but less than a third as massive, and orbits a main sequence star roughly 160 light-years from Earth.

In April, astronomers said they had detected a possible signature of life on the exoplanet K2-18b. Now, three independent analyses discount the evidence.
