#Exoplanets

You’re on a camping trip with your family and your parents tell you to turn off all the lights. But, of course, your little brother wants to shine his flashlight directly at the sky saying aliens will see it.…

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be the first to make studying the galactic bulge a part of its core science objectives.

A study of NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) data on stellar pairs undergoing mutual eclipses has uncovered more than two dozen candidate

Exoplanet science and the search for life beyond Earth continue to advance at break-neck speeds, with the number of confirmed exoplanets by NASA rapidly approaching 6,300, with 223 of those exoplanets being designated as terrestrial (rocky) exoplanets.…

Finding molecules in places we will never visit is no simple task. Vetting and sometimes correcting such observations is a continual process.

During the movie, Project Hail Mary's Ryland Grace develops traits essential to success in high-stakes, uncertain situations.

Exoplanet science and the search for life beyond Earth continue to advance at break-neck speeds, with the number of confirmed exoplanets by NASA rapidly approaching 6,300, with 223 of those exoplanets being designated as terrestrial (rocky) exoplanets.…

When the gravity of a foreground object distorts and magnifies light from the background, the images surround the object responsible for the lensing.

It turns out that even after studying our solar system in depth and discovering more than 6,100 exoplanets across more than 4,500 exoplanetary systems, not all solar systems are created equal.…

NASA is aiming for an early September 2026 launch of the Roman Space Telescope, a powerful new observatory that could transform astronomy with massive infrared sky surveys, huge data returns, and faster follow-up discoveries.

The search for life beyond Earth has traditionally focused on exoplanets orbiting Sun-like stars, which is a G-type star. However, low-mass stars, which are designated as K-type and M-type stars, have rapidly become a target for astrobiology, primarily…

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team now is targeting as soon as early September 2026 for launch, ahead of the agency’s commitment to flight no later

These cotton candy exoplanets hide behind a haze even the James Webb Space Telescope can't penetrate

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) built an ultraviolet camera for NASA’s teeny-tiny SPARCS space telescope, which is about the size of a cereal box.
