Using radial velocity measurements, an international team of astronomers has identified a second planet orbiting a nearby ...

In the search for habitable exoplanets, atmospheric conditions play a key role in determining if a planet can sustain liquid ...

One of the worlds in the TRAPPIST-1 system, a mere 40 light-years away, just might be clad in a life-supporting atmosphere.

What if we told you the NASA has found a planet were we could potentially dip our toes in a few generation? Meet TOI-270d, ...

Located at a relatively close distance of 41 light years from Earth, the Trappist-1 system has attracted significant ...

That raises the possibility that the TRAPPIST-1e exoplanet could also have liquid water and therefore support life.

Large exoplanets are more easily detected than small ones. It's axiomatic. While large planets block out more starlight ...

Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new exoplanet is situated "fairly close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits ...

Hundreds of distant planets may be far larger than scientists once believed. New research reveals that many exoplanets found by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) might have been ...

"Our approach gives astronomers an idea of how many spots a star might have, where they are located, and how bright or dark ...
