Exoplanets

"The speed at which this doomed stellar system is lurching wildly, likely due to the extreme brightness, is a frantic sign of its imminent, violent end."

These celestial wonders can tell us a lot about the state of the atmosphere at home on Earth as well as on other planets.

The James Webb Space Telescope has investigated the "Goldilocks zone" planet TRAPPIST-1e to search for a potential atmosphere and hints of habitability.

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a planet-birthing disk of gas and dust around a young star, uncovering some strange and unexpected chemistry.

Astronomers are amazed to have discovered a baby exoplanet gobbling up matter around an infant star like a planetary Pac-Man.

Scientists have developed a new technique that could help them understand "polka dot" stars using the transits of exoplanets.

As another world around TRAPPIST-1 shows no signs of an atmosphere, astronomers urge us not to give up hope for an Earth-like atmosphere on one of the other worlds in the system.

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sun-like star to Earth.

Thanks to groundbreaking models and the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are poised to explore their mysterious evolution and reveal clues about planetary formation across the galaxy.
