The balloon-based EXCITE mission measures infrared phase curves of hot Jupiter exoplanets to map temperature and atmospheric composition from long-duration Antarctic flights.

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

For 15 years, one nearby exoplanet refused to reveal its secrets, its spectrum stubbornly flat, its atmosphere unreadable.

A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...

University of Warwick astronomers, using an ESA telescope, have discovered a planetary system with a distant rocky world that turns our understanding ...

Spend a day with me at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Florida’s Space Coast, as I meet a former NASA astronaut and ...

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it.

Since the 1990s, astronomers have found a handful of other dwarf planets in the belt, such as Eris and Sedna, along with ...
