Data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope and computer modeling show an approximation of what various hot Jupiters might look like. The weather forecast for faraway,…
Astronomers have used data from the Kepler Space Telescope to give the clearest understanding yet of a class of exoplanets called Warm Jupiters, revealing that…
Using the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have identified the largest planet to date around a double-star system. If you cast your eyes toward the constellation…
New research reveals that a distant planet known as Kepler-62f could be habitable. The planet, which is about 1,200 light-years from Earth in the direction…
A new measurement of the dust around KIC 8462852 reveals that it seems to be consistent with the breakup of a cluster of Halley-like comets….
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has verified 1,284 new planets – the single largest finding of planets to date. “This announcement more than doubles the number…
Using data from the Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, astronomers reveal that the small star called W1906+40 has a giant storm much like Jupiter’s Great…
Using NASA’s Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, new research suggests that unusual light signals from star KIC 8462852 are likely from dusty comet fragments, which…
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the first confirmed planet around a sun-like star, more than 60 leaders in the field of exoplanet observations…
Using the repurposed Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered evidence of a tiny, rocky object being torn apart as it spirals around a white dwarf…
Using Kepler data astronomers have discovered Kepler-453b – a circumbinary planet located within the “habitable zone.” A team of astronomers including a San Francisco State…
A new study from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has examined Kepler observations for exoplanet transits around lower mass M-dwarf stars, revealing that the nearest…
With the help of the Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers and scientists continue to search for another Earth-like planet. The discovery of a super-Earth-sized planet orbiting…
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has discovered a planet and star that closely resemble the Earth and our Sun. NASA’s Kepler mission has confirmed the first…
