Engineers and astronomers have unveiled a groundbreaking telescope design for studying exoplanet atmospheres, offering near-space observations at a fraction of the cost of orbital missions, AzerNEWS ...

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

Scientists have identified a rocky outer planet in a system where a gas giant was expected. The discovery challenges traditional models and supports the idea that planets may form one by one in ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have for the first time identified hydrogen sulfide gas in the atmospheres of three gas-giant exoplanets orbiting HR 8799, a ...

NASA captured a surreal “double rainbow” stretching 300 miles beside rare cloud vortices over Mexico, two striking atmospheric phenomena in one frame.

For 15 years, one nearby exoplanet refused to reveal its secrets, its spectrum stubbornly flat, its atmosphere unreadable.

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers ...

The atmospheres of exoplanets have been a focal point of the field lately, with the James Webb Space Telescope taking a look at as many as it can manage. But time on the world's most powerful space ...

An inside-out planetary system around the star LHS 1903 is turning everything that astronomers know about planet formation upside down.

A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how planetary systems form.

Typically, from what astronomers have gathered thus far, star systems follow a tidy logic: small, rocky worlds huddle close to the warmth of their star, while massive gas giants bloat up in the colder ...
