Hycean planets, theoretical exoplanets with deep oceans and thick hydrogen atmospheres, could be key targets for detecting ...

Young, close-orbiting exoplanets known as sub-Neptunes may form farther from their stars and migrate inward or lose their ...

The James Webb Space Telescope could potentially detect signs of life on alien 'hycean' ocean worlds, possibly the most ...

Hycean worlds, which are a possible kind of exoplanet with deep oceans surrounded by a thick envelope of hydrogen, could ...

Normally, the Webb telescope only detects exoplanets by glimpsing them when they cross in front of their host star. This ...

Using a newly developed tool to sift through data from the NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, a team led by a Penn State astronomer has identified young sub-Neptune planets close to their ...

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.

Instead, exoplanets tend to cluster into two size groups: roughly 1.4 and 2.4 times Earth's size. Their model explains this gap by predicting that planets smaller than 1.8 times the Earth's radius ...

The Exoplanets will make its debut performance on September 6 at Norwich Theatre Royal before a London transfer set for March next year. The production, which is supported by the expertise of ...

"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 ...
