Medicine & Technology"Super-puffs" may be the last name you'd expect to be used as a description for planets but NASA's discovery proves that super puffy planets exist.
An extra orbital planetary system 61 Virginis is one of the interesting systems, and the international astronomers continue the research of the debris disk in that planetary system.
An expert in statistical and mathematics from Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona has constructed a statistical model to predict the dry land in the exoplanets and he finds the planets are lacking dry land to sustain life.
From the moment they were discovered by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, the two bright spots on Ceres have fascinated scientists and amateur astronomers across the world. What are they and why are they there? Scientists believed that once Dawn reached orbit they would be able to learn more about these two mysterious spots, but even now they remain a mystery. NASA has made an unusual move by inviting the public to weigh in on what they believe is the nature of these two bright spots.
An international team of astronomers says they have managed to take the first visible light spectrum from an exoplanet, giving them yet another new tool to probe the nature of the exoplanet known as 51 Pegasi b, otherwise known as “hot Jupiter.”
A study by astrophysicists at the University of Toronto suggests that exoplanets - planets that are outside our solar system - are more likely to have liquid water, and therefore may be more hospitable to life than researchers originally thought.
