Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers imaged a new exoplanet that orbits a star in the nearby triple system Epsilon Indi. The planet is a cold super-Jupiter exhibiting a temperature ...

How close are Earth-sized exoplanets to Earth? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address as a large international team of researchers have announced the ...

It’s not easy to uncover exoplanets, largely lightless objects that either lurk in the dark void of space or are blown out by the light of a nearby star. But astronomers using the James Webb Space ...

Astronomers announced several months ago that there is most likely a small Earth-like planet in orbit of Proxima Centauri. That's a big deal because Proxima Centauri happens to be the closest star to ...

Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet orbiting Barnard's star, the closest single star to our Sun. On this newly discovered exoplanet, which has at least half the mass of Venus, a year lasts just ...

Astronomers have spotted four smaller-than-Earth exoplanets orbiting the closest single-star system to us, called Barnard’s Star. According to the astronomers, these exoplanets — which are among the ...

The RISTRETTO project, dedicated to observing Proxima b –the closest exoplanet to the Solar System — is reaching a new milestone: several key components of this high-precision spectrograph have been ...

NASA ’s James Webb Space Telescope has found the strongest evidence yet that a small, rocky planet outside our solar system ...
