Exoplanets

Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have found that a strange inflated exoplanet is even weirder than they realized finding a strange asymmetry in its atmosphere.

Astronomers have discovered a hidden feature in exoplanet distribution that could explain the absence of so-called "hot-Neptunes" close to their stars.

"Iron Winds and Metal Rain." Not the title of a heavy metal album but an accurate weather prediction for a hellish exoplanet called WASP-76b.

A network of citizen scientists recently found a "warm" Jupiter 300 light-years from Earth that can reveal clues about how our own Jupiter and solar system evolved.

The complex history of the orbits of the TRAPPIST-1 planets has been revealed, showing how they interacted with the disk of gas and dust that gave birth to them.

Using the NASA exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS, astronomers have discovered a hot Jupiter dancing with a hidden super-Earth companion.

Young, hot planets could soak up a lot of water into their core, with up to 10 times more water inside than on the surface of the planet.

Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus may dominate the solar system, but their formation remains mysterious. A new model could account for these planets' rapid and efficient births.

A team of international scientists has announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a temperate, Earth-sized exoplanet just 40 light-years away.

Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray space telescope, scientists have investigated if nearby exoplanets could support life, or if their stars are blasting them with too much deadly high-energy radiation.
