An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.

When HIP 67522 b was discovered, it was the youngest known planet orbiting its star in under 10 days. Astronomers were using ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope detection of TWA 7b represents a major milestone: the lightest exoplanet discovered with a direct image.

An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to scientists.

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly ...
