If you’re looking to dramatically change a room but don’t want to spend a lot of money, time, or even be especially committed to the results, consider removable wallpaper — specifically the ...
Explore some of these distant worlds and strange worlds with us, how they compare to our own solar system planets, and the ways in which we search for them. We can even use Minecraft to simulate ...
Studying the chemical cloud has taken a long time because it is often obscured by WASP-49 b (left) and the exoplanet's home star WASP-49 (right). (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) In addition to ...
These exoplanets (planets orbiting a star other than our sun) orbit close to red dwarf stars that are smaller and cooler than the sun, and which make up over 75% of the 200 billion stars in the ...
Data from the massive telescope also suggests the exoplanet, the name for a planet outside the solar system, may also have a surface covered in water and an atmosphere rich with hydrogen.
Astronomers have discovered a new feature in the distribution of planets beyond the solar system, and this finding could help ...
The newly discovered exoplanet has around half the mass of Venus, which classifies it as a "sub-Earth." The exoplanet, ...
In May 2024, the first exoplanet orbiting TIC 393818343 was detected. The planet, which received designation TIC 393818343 b, orbits the host every 16.25 days on an eccentric orbit .
This artist’s concept depicts a potential volcanic moon between the exoplanet WASP-49 b, left, and its parent star. New evidence indicating that a massive sodium cloud observed near WASP-49 b is ...
One thing we've learned in recent decades is that exoplanets are surprisingly common. So far, we've confirmed nearly 6,000 planets, and we have evidence for thousands more. Most of these planets ...

When the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995, Sara Seager and Dave Charbonneau were graduate students at Harvard. Both were studying topics totally unrelated to planets orbiting distant stars.
