Researchers at Cambridge University made a big splash in April last year when they announced that they had strong evidence ...

Astronomers from the University of Geneva, working with colleagues in Canada and the United States, have captured the ...

A rocky exoplanet outside the Earth's solar system may have an atmosphere, according to new evidence gathered by NASA researchers. The exoplanet, known as super-Earth TOI-561b, was discovered in 2020, ...

Astronomers might be close to confirming the presence of an Earth-like atmosphere on an exoplanet for the first time, if more detailed analyses verify preliminary observations from the James Webb ...

An ancient rocky world so close to its star that its surface is largely molten should have been stripped bare of gas long ago. Instead, new observations reveal that this ultra-hot planet has somehow ...

A molten lava world cloaked in a thick envelope of vaporized rock could be the strongest evidence we have yet of a rocky exoplanet with an atmosphere beyond our Solar System. The planet TOI-561 b is ...

What can a rocky molten exoplanet with an atmosphere teach astronomers about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to ...

Scientists using the James Webb telescope observed a distant exoplanet with an atmosphere of soot and diamonds, challenging all explanations. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

What can a 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach astronomers about the planet’s formation, evolution, and composition? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as ...
