A planet similar to Jupiter, which is situated 520 light-years away from our planet, might have managed to survive a furious outburst from its host star. The gas planet goes by the name 8 UMi b and was named after...

A nearby star has been found to have two "super-Earth" exoplanets in its habitable zone, according to astronomers. The two planets, which are both slightly larger than our own planet, orbit around the same red dwarf star. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that the atmospheres of gas giant planets in the Milky Way galaxy can be different from those in our solar system. Scientists have detected that the atmosphere of a far-off exoplanet called HD149026b,...

Scientists have made an exciting discovery of a new Earth-like planet named Wolf 1069 b. This planet is 31.2 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It orbits around a red dwarf star approximately one-fifth the size...

A doomed exoplanet identified by astronomers outside of our own solar system is spiraling closer to its host star and will be obliterated upon collision with it due to the process of orbital decay. At the moment, Kepler-1658b closely orbits...

NASA is planning to study a unique exoplanet with boiling oceans, melting rock, and clouds with lava rain, called "55 Cancri e." On Thursday, NASA shared its plans to study two exoplanets with the help of the James Webb Space...

NASA astronomers have found evidence of what they believe could be the first planet ever to be discovered outside our galaxy. The exoplanet, which is roughly the size of Saturn, has been detected more than 28 million light years...

 It was made public on Wednesday morning that the people of Cyprus will soon have the unique opportunity to choose a name to be given to an exoplanet, following the Cyprus Space Exploration Organization’s (CSEO) accession to the International...
