"I do not believe we yet have convincing evidence of the presence of DMS in K2-18b's atmosphere." In 2023, debate erupted in the astronomy community about whether life could exist on an exoplanet ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A Jupiter-like exoplanet, GJ 2126 b, has been detected orbiting an M-dwarf star using the radial velocity method with the HARPS spectrograph. This exoplanet has ...

These days, researchers commonly discover exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. But sometimes there’s a special discovery, like an exoplanet right in our backyard — and that’s the ...

WASP-121 b is the definition of an "extreme" exoplanet — it's so hot that it rains droplets of liquid iron. Now, astronomers have discovered that this planet, located around 900 light-years away ...

The atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-121b, or Tylos, includes layers of iron winds, sodium winds, and hydrogen winds. (Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser) The weather inside our Solar System is tough to track.

There have been many claims of exoplanets orbiting Barnard's Star over the years, dating all the way back to the 1960s. Barnard's Star is a red dwarf, also known as an M-dwarf, and is noticeable ...

Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms. WASP-121b ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered an exoplanet that defies the usual pace of time. WASP-121b, located 900 light-years away, has a year that lasts only 30 hours, 10 times faster than ...

Barnard's star is the closest single star to our solar system. A few months ago, an exoplanet was discovered in its orbit. However, it does not orbit the star alone, as researchers have discovered.

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...
