Exoplanet 'haze' makes it harder to identify water on alien worlds. Scientists may have a solution
Planetary scientists simulate how haze might be obstructing our view of exoplanet's atmospheres, and potentially alien water.
Some exoplanets are shrinking. Here's why
Data from NASA's Kepler telescope shows why puffy sub-Neptunes are shrinking to rocky super-Earths.
Exoplanets: Everything you need to know about the worlds beyond our solar system
Reference Exoplanets are worlds that orbit stars other than the sun. Since their discovery in the 1990s, these alien planets have been revealing that the universe is a diverse place.
Detecting alien life might be easier if we hunt for 'Jurassic worlds.' Here's why
"If they're out there, this analysis lets us figure out where they could be living."
NASA's exoplanet-hunting telescope spies 8 'super-Earths'
Astronomers using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have identified eight new super-Earths that orbit close to their host stars.
7 scorching-hot exoplanets discovered circling the same star
NASA's Kepler Space Telescope spotted a seven exoplanet system with worlds being battered by radiation from their parent sun-like star just before its retirement in 2018.
Bullying Jupiter-like planets may push 'alien Earths' away from life-friendly orbits
Planets like Earth shouldn't get too close to their bigger, bullying neighbors. Jupiter-size worlds can wreck life-friendly conditions on their smaller neighbors.
Nailing down exoplanet orbits could be key to finding ET. Here's why
A better understanding of exoplanet orbits is helping SETI astronomers reduce their computational costs and conduct their search for intelligent aliens faster.
