Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way. The exoplanet, a gas giant named AT2021uey b, orbits a low-mass star and is located about 3,200 light-years away from Earth ...

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 ...

A new study has identified an exoplanet that is just 3 million years old — around 1,500 times younger than Earth — alongside a misaligned protoplanetary disk that researchers cannot explain.

A team of astronomers have found a potentially habitable exoplanet about 40 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. Exoplanet Gliese 12 b is slightly smaller than Earth–about the size of ...

An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.

Exoplanet science has progressed tremendously since 1992. In 1999, astronomers successfully used the transit method — watching stars for dips in their brightness as planets pass in front of them ...

The target exoplanet, WASP-121b—aka Tylos—is located in the Puppis constellation about 900 light-years from Earth. One year on Tylos is equivalent to just 30 hours on Earth, thanks to the ...

T here’s nothing terribly special about the exoplanet known as HIP 65426 b.It’s a gas giant nine times the mass of Jupiter, orbiting its host star 385 light years from Earth. Just one of at ...

Scientists say they’ve found signs of life on one exoplanet. There could be more than 10 billion others. The findings suggest often overlooked dying stars could support life-sustaining exoplanets ...

The James Webb Space Telescope investigated a giant planet, K2-18b, that could be an ocean world, according to NASA. The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth.

The new exoplanet is situated "fairly close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits within a "habitable zone," according to NASA. Astronomers say the planet, ...
