Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than the sun and thus exist outside the solar system. The word "exoplanet" ...

Israeli astronomers report the detection of a new Jupiter-like exoplanet using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS). The newfound alien world orbits a nearby M-dwarf star ...

Up until now, exoplanet surveys have mostly focused on nearby, bright stars that are sun-like or are red dwarfs, which are known to frequently host planets. While astronomers have discovered thousands ...

Space telescopes are revolutionizing exoplanet discovery, allowing astronomers to detect Earth-like worlds orbiting distant stars. By observing subtle dimming of starlight, measuring gravitational ...

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 ...

A small, rocky world orbiting a red dwarf star just 25 light-years from Earth now looks more like a plausible candidate for ...

Artist’s rendition of variety of exoplanets featured in the new NASA TESS-Keck Survey Mass Catalog, the largest, single, homogenous analysis of TESS planets released by any survey thus far. The study ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of four small planets around Barnard’s Star, one of Earth’s nearest and perhaps most notorious neighboring stars. The new discoveries verify a study last year ...
