Since the largest exoplanets are the easiest to spot and study, it makes sense that distant worlds with large "puffy" atmospheres would provide the best and most abundant information about the ...

Researchers have discovered a new planet orbiting a star 320 light years from Earth that has the density of styrofoam. This 'puffy' exoplanet may hold opportunities for testing atmospheres that will ...

If the Stay Puft marshmallow man from Ghostbusters were a planet, it would probably be the newly discovered super gas giant, KELT 11b. The highly inflated planet is located some 320 light years away ...

A newly discovered exoplanet with the puffy density of styrofoam may become a testing ground for learning to analyze atmospheres of far-flung planets for signs of life. KELT-11B, called an exoplanet ...

NASA's new eye in the sky has spotted the first handful of what it hopes will be a flood of new exoplanets. The Kepler telescope, launched last year with the express purpose of planet-hunting, has ...

NASA image shows the closest thing we've found to Earth's twin. A little bigger and a lot hotter It would have surprising if all the other stars out there were devoid of planets. Why should our sun be ...
