Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars outside our solar system, and their discovery has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and the potential for life beyond Earth. Scientists study exoplanets to learn about their sizes, compositions, atmospheres, and orbital dynamics, using techniques like transit observations and radial velocity measurements. Some exoplanets resemble Earth, raising exciting possibilities about habitable conditions and biosignatures. This page brings you the latest research and discoveries in exoplanet science, from newly detected worlds to insights into how planetary systems form and evolve across the galaxy.
