With this new survey, astronomers have gained a peek inside a stage of exoplanet system formation they have yet to fully ...

Astronomers have discovered a planetary system that appears to flip one of astronomy's most reliable rules on its head.

The Milky Way galaxy has billions of stars in its folds. If each of these stars hosted a planetary system, then the number of planets outside our solar system—exoplanets—would easily reach trillions, ...

Astronomers have found what appears to be one of the strangest known worlds in the universe. It orbits a type of rapidly spinning neutron star called a pulsar – this in itself is unusual, but it is ...

The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than the familiar one by which most systems grow ...

In a zesty new discovery, scientists have unearthed a strange lemon-shaped exoplanet. It is unlike one we have seen before, challenging many of the previously held assumptions about planetary ...

Astronomers want to collect as much data as possible using as many systems as possible. Sometimes that requires coordination ...

Since astronomers found the first planets outside our solar system in 1992 and the first planet around a sunlike star in 1995, scientists have sought the telltale glimmers, flickers and wobbles that ...

OK, first, let’s get the name out of the way. Scientists have cataloged this exoplanet as PSR J2322-2650 b. It’s called that because it orbits a pulsar (a rapidly rotating neutron star) designated PSR ...

Scientists using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) discovered an exoplanet, which NASA defines as “any planet beyond our solar system.” What's False However, the “strange signals” ...
