Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a planet-forming disk that almost entirely lacks water, ...

Spotting Earth-like planets is nearly impossible with conventional telescopes, but researchers propose a bold fix: a rectangular design that can separate a planet’s faint glow from its blinding star.

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

Technological limitations for manufacturing large, round telescopes has experts considering unconventional shapes to improve ...

Given that Saturn is nearly 100 times more massive than Earth, it seems like a joke to refer to an exoplanet of the same weight as "light." But that's what NASA and the European Space Agency, one of ...

New research using NASA's powerful JWST telescope has identified a planet 41 light years away which may have an atmosphere.

Early results on the fourth planet from the TRAPPIST-1 star suggest it lost its original atmosphere to space long ago, and it ...
