Last year, astronomers discovered an unusual Earth-size exoplanet they believe has a hemisphere of molten lava, with its ...

White dwarf stars could host habitable planets. Fast planetary rotation reduces cloud cover, keeping surface temperatures stable.

Scientists from Oxford University have confirmed the discovery of HD 20794 d, a “super-Earth” exoplanet located 20 light-years away, which may have the conditions needed to support life. Despite its ...

Scientists have discovered a potentially record-breaking fast planetary system, with a star and possible exoplanet moving at ...

Earth' exoplanet, HD 20794 d, located just 20 light-years away, which could potentially host life. It resides in t ...

Gaia-4b, a giant exoplanet orbiting a small star, is the first planet confirmed using Gaia’s astrometric technique.

NASA astronomers have claimed discovery of the fastest-moving exoplanet system consisting of a possible low-mass (red dwarf) ...

NASA said the system is thought to be moving at least 1.2 million miler per hour, nearly twice as fast as our solar system.

An international team of scientists has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth—a planet larger than Earth but smaller than ...

Astronomers have detected a relatively close exoplanet orbiting in the habitable zone of its star, where temperatures are ...

A new study examines how much material from the closest star system to Earth will end up in orbit around the Sun, and how ...
