Our sun is about halfway through its life, which means Earth is as well. After a star exhausts its hydrogen nuclear fuel, its ...

Pulsars emit a lot of radiation, in particular high-energy gamma-rays and radio waves pulses. That light is invisible to JWST ...

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was suspected ...

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre carbon-rich planet orbiting a neutron star, PSR J2322-2650b, with soot clouds and ...

TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized world in the system’s habitable zone, is drawing scientific attention as researchers hunt for ...

Using JWST, scientists discovered PSR J2322-2650b — a carbon-rich, lemon-shaped exoplanet orbiting a pulsar — challenging ...

The Terra Hunting Experiment will track the wobbles of dozens of stars nightly for years in the most focused hunt yet for an ...

This illustration shows an exoplanet orbiting around two brown dwarfs –– objects bigger than gas-giant planets but too small to be proper stars. ESO/M. Kornmesser Astronomers have discovered a ...

Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system ...

Researchers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have detected the strongest evidence yet for an atmosphere on a rocky ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured this image showing the nightside surface of Venus. A family of asteroids share the planet's orbit, and two new studies suggest that one day the space rocks could ...

Astronomers have identified a giant planet circling a tiny red dwarf star at a distance so extreme that it sits about 690 times farther from its star than Earth is from the Sun. The discovery pushes ...
