NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS has a new method for detecting worlds beyond the solar system, and it is thanks to ...

A rare super-Jupiter with a remarkably long 180-day orbit has emerged from years of patient observations, marking one of the ...

NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has confirmed a distant exoplanet that was hidden in its data by using a ...

Exoplanets are often discovered using the transit method (more than three-quarters of those discovered have been found this way.) The same transit technique can be used to study them, often revealing ...

Currently, the closest exoplanet to Earth is Proxima Centauri b, which orbits the star Proxima Centauri, located 4 ...

In principle, discovering new exoplanets is pretty easy. Simply measure the brightness of a star over time, and when a planet passes in front of the star, the brightness will dim slightly. The more ...

The TESS space telescope has discovered hundreds of exoplanets. Now another one has been added, for which the method used ...

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet – a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system – using a technique known as ‘transit timing variation’. In research ...

NASA’s TESS satellite has identified a treasure trove of potential exoplanets, but those initial detections require detailed follow-ups to confirm. Now a network of citizen scientists has confirmed ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare giant planet outside our solar system that could help scientists better understand how ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.
