A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

Astronomers have recently unlocked a new frontier in exoplanet exploration, generating the first 3D map of a distant world.

“If you build a map at a wavelength that water absorbs, you’ll see the water deck in the atmosphere, whereas a wavelength that water does not absorb will probe deeper. If you put those together, you ...

Scientists found two Earth-sized planets and a third candidate orbiting a nearby double star system, TOI-2267.

Researchers present strong evidence for a planet circling two brown dwarfs on a near polar path. The orbit is tilted almost ...

Astronomers have broken new ground in the field of exoplanet research by creating the first-ever 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. The subject of this pioneering study, WASP-121b, has revealed a ...

Using JWST, scientists mapped WASP-18b’s atmosphere in 3D, revealing blazing regions where water molecules split apart.

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

In a real-life twist on Star Wars' Tatooine—a harsh desert planet with twin suns and a criminal underbelly—astronomers have found a bizarre new world that orbits two stars at a perfect right angle.

A new microscope just arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) to help study life's adaptability under extreme conditions using an innovative imaging technique. The Extant Life Volumetric ...

Mars is a cold, dry, desert-like planet. But billions of years ago, scientific evidence suggests that it had a thick ...
