Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than the sun and thus exist outside the solar system. The word "exoplanet" ...

Massive candidate haul: Researchers found 10,091 potential exoplanets in NASA’s TESS archive, many missed by traditional detection methods. AI-driven detection: A custom pipeline targeted ...

A new solar telescope at Paranal studies the Sun to reduce stellar noise, helping scientists better detect and study ...

Space telescopes are revolutionizing exoplanet discovery, allowing astronomers to detect Earth-like worlds orbiting distant stars. By observing subtle dimming of starlight, measuring gravitational ...

Molten planet discovery: L 98-59 d’s magma ocean and dense sulfur-rich atmosphere defy small-planet classifications, hinting at more exotic worlds to be found. New biosignature method: A statistical ...

August 14, 2025, Mountain View, CA -- The SETI Institute awarded the Davie Postdoctoral Fellowship for AI/ML-driven exoplanet discovery to Isabel Angelo. Machine learning is changing the way we search ...

Sometimes, in order to support an idea, you first have to discredit alternative, competing ideas that could take resources away from the one you care about. In the scientific community, one of the ...

Exoplanets—planets that orbit stars beyond our solar system—have transformed our understanding of the universe. Since the first confirmed discovery in the 1990s, more than 5,000 have been identified, ...

Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia's ability to ...

The study of exoplanets began in 1995, only 30 years ago. Yet today, exoplanet research touches every aspect of ground-based and space-based astronomy and ...

These days, researchers commonly discover exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. But sometimes there’s a special discovery, like an exoplanet right in our backyard — and that’s the case with ...
