Astronomers have identified 27 potential circumbinary planets—worlds orbiting two stars—using a novel detection method called apsidal precession. The discovery, timed with Star Wars Day, could more ...

Dark matter is one of the biggest puzzles in science. Although it makes up about 85 percent of all matter in the universe, it has never been directly observed. You can’t see it, touch it, or hold it ...

Astronomers at UNSW discover 27 potential Tatooine-like planets using a new method. This research could reshape our ...

Astronomers from the University of New Mexico, along with U.S. and international researchers, have confirmed the existence of a new giant exoplanet, made possible through a collaboration with citizen ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system. In 1995, a gas giant named 51 Pegasi b, which orbits a star similar to Earth's sun, etched its name in history as the first exoplanet ever ...

What role can the relationship between oxygen (O 2) and ozone (O 3) in exoplanet atmospheres have on detecting biosignatures? This is what a study submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to ...

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 ...

The discovery of new exoplanets can help scientists understand how planets form and evolve. Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet -- a planet that orbits a star outside of ...
