Far beyond the eight familiar planets in our solar system, countless bizarre and extreme worlds await discovery — and some ...

Our quest to find a “second Earth” has long occupied scientists and dreamers alike. The possibility of another world ...

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 ...

So indirect methods are employed, such as observing changes in starlight as a result of the exoplanet and its motion. Broadband Fabry–Pérot etalons are used as calibration sources in radial ...

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 ...

This extreme temperature difference results in what scientists describe as a violent and highly unusual climate. Distinct layers of the exoplanet’s atmosphere The research team used high-resolution ...

Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis (ESO/M. Kornmesser) “This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge ...

Examining the exoplanet Tylos: Astronomers have discovered by looking through an exoplanet’s atmosphere and mapping its 3D structure for the first time Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very ...

WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron. Now, astronomers have discovered that this planet, located around 900 light-years away ...

According to a new paper published in the journal Nature, astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds ...

"Even the strongest hurricanes in the solar system seem calm in comparison." WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron.

Tylos (or WASP-121b) is a gaseous, giant exoplanet located some 900 light-years away in the constellation Puppis. Using the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists ...
