Researchers now appreciate that gas planets are more complex than first thought. New findings have implications for our ...
This gas giant has some really unique features that make it stand out. If you’re curious about space, learning a few things ...
There's nothing too unusual about that, but closer inspection revealed the planet, called PSR B1620-26b, to be quite weird.
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 ...
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.
(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 ...
