It’s finally happening. NASA has announced that its Kepler telescope may have seen its last exoplanet, as the spacecraft has now all but run out of fuel. In a statement, NASA said its Kepler telescope ...

Six hundred and thirty-five light years away from Earth, there is a world that seems to promise something almost unimaginable ...

Researchers used data from NASA's planet-hunting Kepler space telescope to discover an eighth planet orbiting a star known as Kepler-90. The planet, dubbed Kepler-90i, is a hot, rocky planet that ...

NASA's exoplanet program includes many different components, from current ground-based telescopes and space-based observatories to future missions. NASA's Kepler space telescope notices the slight dip ...

The astronomy community has been buzzing lately with new discoveries from Kepler data that directly challenge our previous understanding of planetary orbits!

With the help of artificial intelligence, scientists scouring data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope have discovered an eighth planet around the star known as Kepler-90. The find sets a new record ...

The TRAPPIST-1 system has a lot of scientists very excited about the future of space exploration because it was recently discovered to have as many as seven Earth-like exoplanets within (or near) the ...

This image from the paper is a visual representation of the planets in their abbreviated catalogue, showing planets by size and stellar temperature. Credit: arXiv (2023). DOI: ...

A team of astronomers has found the first transiting circumbinary multi-planet system: two planets orbiting around a pair of stars. This discovery shows that planetary systems can form and survive ...

The Kepler Space Telescope, which launched earlier this year to find Earth-like planets elsewhere in our galaxy, showed it's open for business with NASA's announcement that an exoplanet we thought we ...
