Dec. 7, 2023 The extrasolar planets Kepler-1625b and Kepler-1708b are supposedly the home worlds of the first known exomoons. A new study now comes to a different ...
Dec. 15, 2022 Astronomers have found evidence that two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are 'water worlds,' planets where water makes up a large fraction of the ...
Feb. 13, 2025 Astronomers used a 3D global computer model to compare the climates of exoplanets in different stellar and orbital configurations. They found that a planet orbiting a white dwarf star would offer a ...
Dec. 19, 2022 The condemned planet could help answer questions about the fate of other worlds as their solar systems ...
Mar. 5, 2025 Studying the orbits of thousands of exoplanets shows that large planets tend to have elliptical orbits, while smaller planets tend to have more circular orbits. This split coincides with several ...
Dec. 3, 2024 An unusual planetary system with three known ultra-low density 'super-puff' planets has at least one more planet, according to new ...
May 30, 2023 With the help of citizen scientists, astronomers discovered what may be the last three planets that the Kepler Space Telescope saw before it was ...
Aug. 11, 2023 With methods of so-called geoengineering, the climate could theoretically be artificially influenced and cooled. Researchers have now investigated whether it would be possible to prevent the melting ...
Apr. 12, 2024 A star's magnetic field must be considered in order to correctly determine the characteristics of exoplanets from observations by space telescopes such as Kepler, James Webb, or PLATO. ...
Feb. 14, 2023 Astronomers have long been aware that planetary systems are not necessarily structured like our solar system. Researchers have now shown that there are in fact four types of planetary ...
