A newly confirmed exoplanet around a nearby sunlike star might be astronomers’ best chance yet to look for life beyond the ...

The exoplanet team harnessed two decades of light ... One day, we might confirm that some are ocean worlds, like Earth. Mark is an award-winning journalist and the science editor at Mashable.

Thirty years after discovering the first exoplanet, we’ve identified over 7,000 in our galaxy. However, billions more remain to be discovered. Exoplanetologists are now focusing on their ...

"Its luminosity and proximity make it an ideal candidate for future telescopes whose mission will be to observe the atmospheres of exoplanets directly," said Xavier Dumusque of the University of ...

One of these exoplanets, HD 20794d, is likely to be a rocky planet in the habitable zone of its parent star, the G-dwarf HD 20794. “HD 20794, around which HD 20794d orbits, is not an ordinary star,” ...

If they do exist, scientists think they're good candidates to support microbial life. Hycean worlds are hypothetical, but there is some evidence that they exist. The Kepler mission detected many ...

for example – but these simulations could be hugely helpful in future in spotting exoplanet systems with the right balance for habitable zones. "If we discover a Solar System-like system, but with a ...

The film would be a sequel to George Clooney and Brad Pitt's ‘Ocean’s 13,’ which arrived in 2007. By Mia Galuppo Film Writer The latest film in the heist movie franchise is expected to see ...

Exoplanet WASP-127b is a hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet orbiting very close to its star. The system is more than 500 light-years away, and observations suggest that it has dramatic weather and a ...

This magnetic field that extends from Earth's interior into space is thought to be produced largely by an ocean of liquid iron in the planet's outer core. Other sources of magnetism include ...
