Alien planets are far away but extreme lasers on Earth are giving scientists a way to investigate what they're like.

By applying machine learning to vast TESS datasets, researchers have built one of the most precise catalogs of nearby exoplanets to date.

The molten exoplanet, larger than sub-Neptune, could be a new class of planet.

The molten planet, with an atmosphere rich in sulfur-bearing gases, is unlike anything astronomers have ever smelled.

Astronomers have spotted a planet orbiting a star in our neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy that presents a unique ...

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) focuses on finding technosignatures—potential signs of alien technology. If we look carefully, we might have a chance at detecting their ...

Astronomers have narrowed down the cosmic search for life, identifying fewer than 50 rocky planets among thousands of known ...

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found a unique planet in another star system that’s shaped like a lemon. The lopsided Jupiter-style planet is so bizarre that it may blur the ...

Astronomers in a recent breakthrough have identified a first-of-its-kind planet characterised with a unique hellscape and ...

Humans should look to planetary alignments outside of the solar system when searching for signatures of extraterrestrial communications, scientists say. The nascent search for radio transmissions from ...

Exoplanet TOI-561 b is the closest of four worlds orbiting a 10-billion-year-old G-type star roughly 280 light-years from Earth. - NASA / ESA / CSA / Ralf Crawford illustration NASA’s James Webb Space ...
