Medicine & TechnologyWhile exoplanets itself might not be habitable, new evidence suggests the existence of a vast population of moons orbiting them could host life.
An international collaboration of astronomers has detected the hydroxyl molecule common on Earth in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-33b, or also called "ultra-hot Jupiter."
In the ongoing search for the next habitable body, one of the candidates is Titan, Saturn's largest moon. A new study recreates its atmosphere in a lab.
Astronomers discovered two strange objects orbiting each other. The cosmic curiosities, named OPH 98, turned out to be "failed stars" orbiting each other.
Astronomers found a planetary system including six planets, and it's not quite like anything they've seen before. Will it change the theories of how planets form?
At an incredible speed, the exoplanet classified as WASP-62b flails around the parent star. With a fully cloudless atmosphere, the planet is a hot Jupiter.
Astronomers from the University of Montreal (UdeM) discovered that the core mass for exoplanet WASP-107b is a lot lower than previously thought necessary to form giant gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter.
