Transmission strings reveal temperature differences around WASP-17b’s atmosphere, adding detail beyond an average planetary ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the uneven shape of WASP-17b’s atmosphere, showing how extreme heat and ...

Until now, the alien white-hot worlds of exoplanets have been depicted as circular, but new research has revealed the true ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.

Scientists have announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide—a chemical that, on Earth, is only produced by living organisms—in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is the second ...

WIRED.jp published an article titled, "Radio waves from an exoplanet, the source is identified for the first time."When you ...

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph—an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source—that could make it possible to see distant exoplanets obscured by light from their parent ...

For the first time, astronomers have created a three-dimensional (3D) temperature map of a distant exoplanet. The planet, WASP-18b, is a scorching ultra-hot Jupiter about 400 light-years away. The ...

Exoplanets are planets outside Earth's solar system that most often orbit a star. Astronomers have managed to bring an exoplanet into unprecedented focus by using a technique the researchers call 3D ...
