Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet that’s five times the mass of Jupiter and follows a very unusual orbit around its star. Artist’s impression of TIC 241249530b.…
LHS 1140b is the second-closest temperate transiting exoplanet to Earth, with temperatures cold enough for liquid water to exist on its surface. LHS 1140b could be…
Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery that could potentially bring us closer to finding a second Earth: a new planet that is Earth-sized and may be…
Two teams of astronomers used NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and a number of other telescopes to discover a warm, Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting a cool…

WASP-107b, a super-Neptunian exoplanet about 212 light-years away in the constellation Virgo, harbors surprisingly low amounts of methane and a super-large core, according to two new…
Ultracool dwarf stars are widespread near the Sun. Despite this, due to its extremely low brightness, its planetary population remains largely unexplored, and only one such…
Gas giant exoplanets around nearby bright stars provide important insights into the mechanisms of planetary system formation and evolution. Most of these planets exhibit certain average…
Using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers discovered a habitable zone planet orbiting nearby red dwarf star TOI-715 every 19.3 days and characterized…
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet passing by the young Sun-like star HD 63433. HD 63433d is located close…
