Gaia-4b is the most massive planet known to orbit a low-mass star. Also, see an animation for Gaia-5b, a brown dwarf orbiting ...

In a blow to anyone dreaming that complex life may exist elsewhere in the universe, a new study suggests we're unlikely to find it around many of the most common stars in the galaxy. Earth-like ...

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit around both stars — a first in astronomy. The system’s compact, cold nature ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Astronomers have spotted a cosmic mismatch that has left them perplexed - a really big planet orbiting a really small star. The discovery defies current understanding of how ...

Astronomers have identified a vast, cotton-candy–light “super‑puff” world that loops around its star in a wildly misaligned orbit, defying the tidy rules that usually govern planetary systems. Instead ...

Astronomers have confirmed a giant planet orbiting a tightly bound pair of young stars, marking a first in direct exoplanet imaging. The planet, known as HD 143811 AB b, is the closest-in world ever ...

In a surprising twist to our understanding of exoplanetary systems, astronomers have uncovered three Earth-sized planets orbiting a binary star system known as TOI-2267. This rare configuration, ...

The planet may have formed from material transferred between the stars. We live in interesting times, when we can not only detect planets in other star systems, but also have some understanding on how ...
