Astronomers have found a new planet that could possibly support life. The planet is about 146 light-years away, roughly the size of Earth, and has conditions similar to Mars. The newly discovered ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led ...

The candidate planet, known as HD 137010 b, orbits a sun-like star and is estimated to be slightly larger than Earth ...

New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

During a special observation run from Jan. 15 to Jan. 22, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS) repeatedly ...

Ann Arbor's Sustainable Energy Utility provides access to clean energy without upfront costs, maintaining connection to DTE's ...

This shifts our entire perspective on what makes a planet “Earth-like.” Nature is far more creative than our own solar system suggests. The universe might be teeming with “magma-shielded” worlds that ...

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.

These icy bodies orbit the sun just like the major planets, yet they follow their own rules, often traveling along elongated ...

New research suggests Earth’s water came from sources other than meteorites, challenging long-standing theories on planetary ...

Have you ever wondered if there is life on another planet? Exoplanets may hold the key to this question.
