NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been unwaveringly focused on our universe. With its unprecedented power to detect and ...

Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...

There's nothing too unusual about that, but closer inspection revealed the planet, called PSR B1620-26b, to be quite weird.

(Such small planets, I should note, could still be lurking around the other two white dwarfs where no giant planets were seen.) But let’s not be too hasty; once again, these planets are not yet ...

Astronomers spotted exoplanet AT2021ueyL b, a gas giant 3,262 light-years away, using microlensing. It orbits in the galactic ...

The Webb Telescope found two young planets forming sand clouds in the YSES‑1 system, revealing unprecedented details about ...

Also known as "failed stars," brown dwarfs are celestial bodies that sit on the boundary between gas giant planets and tiny stars. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

In 2020, astronomers detected WD 1856+534 b, a gas giant that orbits a star 81 light-years from Earth. This exoplanet, which is roughly six times the mass of Jupiter (making it a "super-Jupiter ...

First off, red dwarfs aren't expected to host gas giant planets -- but that's exactly what TOI-5205b is. Second, and most importantly, sunlike stars in general are usually thought to host planets ...

WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b orbit separate stars outside of our solar system. They’re both so-called “hot Jupiters,” gas giant planets like Saturn and Jupiter that orbit very close to their stars.

17-year-old NASA intern discovers rare new planet 00:47. For the first time, scientists have caught a star in the act of swallowing a planet - not just a nibble or bite, but one big gulp.
