An international team of astronomers including Gisela Ortiz-Leon from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Bonn discovered a Saturn-like planet orbiting a small, cool star by ...

An international team of astronomers released the largest-ever compilation of exoplanet-detecting observations made using a technique called the radial velocity method. They demonstrated how these ...

Computer simulations suggest NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory could detect Earth-like exomoons around gas giant exoplanets through reflected starlight and lunar eclipses.

Detection of hydrogen sulfide in four HR 8799 gas giants provides evidence of solid accretion, clarifying how massive exoplanets form and distinguishing them from brown dwarfs ...

A rocky planet similar to Earth may be orbiting one of our nearest stellar neighbors and could be detected using existing techniques, according to a new study led by astronomers at the University of ...

Astronomers are actively searching for Earth-like planets, with thousands of exoplanets now confirmed. While Proxima Centauri b is the closest rocky planet in a habitable zone, its true Earth-likeness ...
