A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.
Astronomers have announced the discovery of a nearby super Earth that could potentially support alien life — drawing comparisons to theories surrounding Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS, which some ...
The Hubble Space Telescope has been used to study 25 hot Jupiters. It has helped to answer "questions important to our ...
A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...
About 50 light-years from Earth, a gas giant about half the mass of Jupiter orbits a sunlike star. The discovery of Pegasi 51 b ushered in a new era of exoplanet research.
New experiments show young rocky planets can generate water naturally when molten surfaces react with hydrogen in their early atmospheres.
The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...
In the beginning, when planets were newborn, they glowed like furnaces, vast oceans of molten rock wrapped in heavy blankets ...
