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

NASA artist's depiction of an extra-solar system crowded with giant planets. Scientists have found that the presence of gas giants in a solar system is likely to prevent life from forming.

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

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

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 ...

(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 ...

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.

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.
