Now a game-changing instrument called NIRPS (Near-Infrared Planet Searcher) is leading the search for the most tantalizing ...

Fresh results from near-infrared instruments foretell a bright future for finding life elsewhere in the Milky Way ...

Alpha Centauri A, four light-years from Earth, may host a gas giant. If confirmed, no Earthlike planets orbit in the star’s habitable zone.

Most planet-forming disks have warps that can lead to planets on inclined orbits, which could explain where the tilt of Earth's orbit came from.

Astronomers propose a new hypothetical planet, Planet Y, beyond Neptune, based on observed orbital anomalies in the Kuiper ...

Astronomers have discovered a brand new type of planet outside our solar system that, even in its infancy, is already bigger ...

Astronomers discover GJ 2126 b, a giant planet with an extremely eccentric orbit, 124 light-years away, using HARPS data.

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a possible gas giant the size of Saturn in the stellar system nearest our own ...

"This discovery was partly serendipity! But, we believe there are many more such opportunities hidden in Hubble data." ...

Most planets are not the only planets in their solar systems. Their planetary siblings can disturb each other’s orbit, which can lead to variations in the shape of their orbits and their orbital ...
