How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my ...
TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized world in the system’s habitable zone, is drawing scientific attention as researchers hunt for ...
This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...
Astronomers have discovered a bizarre carbon-rich planet orbiting a neutron star, PSR J2322-2650b, with soot clouds and ...
When most of us think about theweather on other planets, we imagine extreme conditions—boiling acid rain, methane snow, or violent winds sweeping across barren landscapes. Yet, recent space missions ...
Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found the strongest evidence yet that a rocky planet outside our ...
Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its diameter expands more than a hundredfold, engulfing any unlucky planets in ...
A rare image reveals a giant planet clinging to two stars, helping scientists understand how planets survive in chaotic star ...
New simulations suggest that up to four of the solar system's rocky planets, including Earth and a long-lost world, once orbited in mathematical harmony around the infant sun. When you purchase ...
