Planets which are tilted on their axis, like Earth, are more capable of evolving complex life. This finding will help scientists refine the search for…
Tantalizing evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of “rogue” (or “free-floating”) planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any…
Astronomers studying stellar pairs uncover evidence that there could be many more Earth-sized planets than previously thought. Some exoplanet searches could be missing nearly half…
Rice team enhances models that will detect magnetospheres in distant solar systems. We can’t detect them yet, but radio signals from distant solar systems could…
A new analysis of known exoplanets has revealed that Earth-like conditions on potentially habitable planets may be much rarer than previously thought. The work focuses…
Scientists at Cornell University and the American Museum of Natural History have identified 2,034 nearby star-systems — within the small cosmic distance of 326 light-years…
New survey reveals that the presence of gaps in planet-forming disks is more common to higher mass stars and to the development of large, gaseous…
At night, seven-year-old Miguel likes talking to his father Cesar Rubio about planets and stars. “I try to nurture that,” says Rubio, a machinist in…
An international group of collaborators, including scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and The University of New Mexico, have discovered a new, temperate sub-Neptune sized…
Statistical model may help unravel the mystery of apparently single-planet systems and aid exoplanet-seeking missions. Data from the Kepler space telescope, launched more than a…
Studying data from the Kepler space telescope, Flatiron Institute researchers found that planetary shrinkage over billions of years likely explains a yearslong mystery: The scarcity…
The gases released from meteorite samples heated in a high-temperature furnace can tell scientists about the initial composition of the atmospheres of rocky exoplanets. In…
MAROON-X instrument built by University of Chicago team measures its first planet. In the past two decades, scientists have discovered more and more planets orbiting…
How hospitable are red dwarf stars, the most common and long-lasting stars in our Galaxy? Researchers used Chandra and Hubble data to look at the…
Exoplanet PDS 70b is gobbling up gas and dust as it continues to build mass. Ever made a complete mess in your kitchen while baking?…
An international collaboration of astronomers led by a researcher from the Astrobiology Center and Queen’s University Belfast, and including researchers from Trinity, has detected a…
Using exoplanets as dark matter detectors: Temperature of planets reveals new details, scientists say. In the continuing search for dark matter in our universe, scientists…
