Most of the exoplanets we’ve discovered have been in relatively tight orbits around their host stars, allowing us to track them as they repeatedly loop around them. But we’ve also discovered a handful ...

Astronomers have detected a rogue planet with a mass equivalent to that of Saturn, and by taking observations from both the ground and space, they have also been able to measure its size and distance ...

Nearly 10,000 light years away, a planet the size of Saturn is floating all on its own through empty space. In a stroke of luck, researchers were able to spot this strange, dark world using both ...

One of the primary goals of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is to detect atmospheres around exoplanets, to try to suss out whether or not they could potentially support life. But, in order to do ...

It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has peered at Uranus, left, and Neptune to study the so-called "ice giant" planets, but little is known about their interior composition. Credit: NASA / ESA / M. Showalter / ...

Planet Labs grew its sales 33% year over year -- and tripled its backlog, suggesting even more revenue growth lies ahead. "We're seeing strong traction with our AI-enabled global monitoring solutions, ...

Morgan Underwood receives funding from NASA-funded CLEVER Planets (Cycles of Life-Essential Volatile Elements in Rocky Planets) research project. When astronomers search for planets that could host ...

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...

"We expected to see this effect, but we were still surprised by just how efficient these stars seem to be at engulfing their close planets." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Some planets might produce their own water instead of relying on outside sources. In laboratory experiments, researchers simulated extreme conditions found within certain exoplanets by blasting ...

What does The Outer Worlds 2 map look like? When you set any game in space, it's always tempting to know how much of the galaxy you're able to explore. After all, you're an Earth Directorate agent on ...
