Medicine & TechnologyDue to a collision about 200,000 years ago, a 'great impact' in outer space stripped' part of the HD 172555 planet's atmospheric system.
The inferno-like WASP-76b exoplanet, where iron is vaporized and rains down like rain, is much hotter than previously imagined, according to a new research.
A new study improved the standard spectral resolution of a microwave kinetic inductance detector by preventing photon energies from leaking the superconductors.
An international team of astronomers detected clouds on the exoplanet WASP-127b as they spot puffs of unknown composition floating above its upper atmosphere.
A team of astronomers, led by Yale University’s Samuel Cabot reports the discovery of a new exoplanet of this sort, which turns out to comprise an extremely high temperature on the surface.
In the search for extraterrestrial life, scientists turned to potentially habitable exoplanets and have found K2-18b, a planet belonging to a class called 'Hycean worlds.'
Exoplanets of the Hycean class are bigger and warmer than Earth-like planets. This makes them more visible from Earth and allows for the detection of indications of life.
Researchers devices simulations of an exoplanet orbiting a star while a companion star was a few planets away. Similar to the dual-sunsets of Tatooine, research suggests that it might not be purely science fiction.
Astronomy experts discovered a distant system that is comprised of planets resembling Saturn and Jupiter. Both of the planets are in their early formation stage, with one of them having a moon-forming disk.
Planets which are tilted on their axis, like Earth, are more capable of evolving complex life. This finding will help scientists refine the search for more advanced life on exoplanets.
