PORTLAND, Ore. — A physics student at Reed College has discovered eight new possible exoplanets in the Milky Way. His name is Mohamed Jassim Munavar Hussain, and he's an international student ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered an exoplanet that defies the usual pace of time. WASP-121b, located 900 light-years away, has a year that lasts only 30 hours, 10 times faster than ...

The first "disintegrating" exoplanet is a Neptune-size rocky world called K2-22b, which zips around its star so closely that it completes an orbit in just nine hours. Scientists say the star's ...

Chlorophyll-using organisms thrived, turning Earth’s general look from purple to green. Astrobiologists suspect exoplanets might host creatures that still rely on retinal. “If the Purple Earth ...

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

Called ferrihydrite, this iron mineral formed during a cold, wet period on early Mars under oxidative conditions, followed by a transition to the current hyper-arid environment. Mars is easily ...

Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms. WASP-121b, nicknamed ...

The much-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro, which has faced delays due to train shortages, is set for an important safety inspection. The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) will inspect the ...

Distinct layers of the exoplanet’s atmosphere The research team used high-resolution observations of starlight passing through the exoplanet’s atmosphere to deduce how distinct layers move and mix.
