An international team of astronomers reports the detection of two new brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars using NASA's ...

A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system ...

The research team used data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to study young sub-Neptunes -- planets bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune -- that orbit close to their ...

Astronomers have discovered two exoplanets around TOI-1453, a star about 250 light years away. These two exoplanets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, are common in the galaxy, yet are absent from our ...

Within the next few years, TESS’s more than 7,200 exoplanet candidates should yield at least another 1,000 confirmed planets, as repeated transit observations verify them. Astronomers can then ...

A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was recently used to capture direct images of four Saturn-like exoplanets in a solar system 130 light-years away.

Like the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), Kepler identifies planets using the transit method. This works for systems in which the planets orbit in a plane that takes them between ...

A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system ...

Using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the HARPS-N high-resolution spectrograph, the researchers were able to identify TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, the two ...
