Astronomers spot the closest giant planet ever seen orbiting binary stars
Astronomers have captured a rare and remarkably close view of a giant planet circling a pair of tightly bound suns, offering ...
This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...
The newfound exoplanet HIP 99770 b (circled), is seen circling its host star in these images by Japan's Subaru Telescope. Data from Europe’s star-mapping Gaia spacecraft revealed the likely presence ...
A team of astronomers have captured the first direct image of a brown dwarf orbiting a star. The research was led by the Astrobiology Center of the National Institute of Natural Sciences (NINS) and ...
NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet beyond our solar system for the first time. The images feature HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years from ...
Artist’s impression of a cold gas giant orbiting a red dwarf. Only a point of light is visible on the JWST/MIRI images. Nevertheless, the initial analysis suggests the presence of a gaseous planet ...
Finding life on other planets might well be the holy grail of astronomy, but the hunt for suitable host planets that can sustain life is a resource-intensive task. The search for exoplanets (planets ...
A team of French astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered an object located very close to the star Beta Pictoris, and which apparently lies inside its disc. With a projected ...
