The solar storm slammed the Earth on May 11, 2024, proving to be the biggest recorded on our planet for over 20 years. It generated bright auroras, usually restricted to our plane ...

Astronomers have uncovered a fascinating new exoplanet, TOI-5734 b, located roughly 106 light-years away from Earth. The ...

James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of Uranus's auroras, revealing details of its unusual magnetic environment. These infrared emissions, invisible to the human eye, offer a rare ...

Beyond that, in the decades to come, we might be able to see the colours of an exoplanet’s surface, and determine if plant life might be present there. And then we can search for changes in a planet’s ...

Scientists identify exoplanet candidate HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-size world orbiting a Sun-like star 146 light-years away ...

In a new study, researchers present a detailed portrait of TOI-2076, a roughly 200-million-year-old planetary system that appears to be finishing its turbulent adolescence.

“While 3I/ATLAS is a visitor from interstellar space, travelling from outside the Solar System, its behaviour is completely ...

Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at ...

New research using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope examines the maximum sizes of gas giant exoplanets, measuring chemical compositions and formation processes in the HR 8799 system.

More and more papers are coming out about the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). As the telescope moves from theory to practice (and physical manifestation), various working groups are ...

New observations show a small Saturn moon has generated electromagnetic waves that extend more than 313,000 miles behind it inside Saturn’s magnetic field. That newly measured reach reveals a tiny icy ...

Planetary systems in the Milky Way galaxy tend to follow a particular pattern: rocky planets toward the center, closest to the host star, and gas planets toward the exterior. That’s how planets are ...
