The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared camera (NIRCam) captured stunning imagery of Neptune. It is the "clearest view of this peculiar planet’s rings in more than 30 years,” according to ...

New simulations suggest Earthlike planets may be much more typical than previously thought whereas water worlds may not.

A new study challenges the idea that Hycean planets are ocean worlds. Chemical reactions between hydrogen-rich atmospheres and molten interiors may reduce surface water, making these sub-Neptunes less ...

A new study challenges the dream of water-rich “Hycean” planets like K2-18b, suggesting that most sub-Neptunes lose their water deep into their interiors during formation. Instead of vast oceans, ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered whether Earth-like planets are rare gems or commonplace across the stars. Recent ...

An exoplanet orbiting a dwarf star 124 light-years from Earth made headlines around the world in April 2025. Researchers at ...

There is much less water on the surfaces of distant planets outside our solar system than previously thought. These ...

The astronomers are ready to probe Neptune-sized exoplanets through ATREIDES, a new project designed to unravel how planetary systems form and transform.

A research team led by geophysicists at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography provides an explanation for ...

Scientists are unraveling the mysteries of "steam worlds"—exoplanets known as sub-Neptunes that are rich in water but orbit so close to their stars that their surfaces are shrouded in thick ...

Over the next month, events at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour and beyond will offer plenty of inspiration for design ...
