Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

NASA has found something that will help understand how the cosmos was when everything barely started. Imagine someone screams in a far away place and that ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.

Astronomers have spent the past decade cataloguing thousands of planets beyond the solar system, many of them falling into a ...

A new discovery suggests the possibility of an exomoon with an unprecedentedly large mass, thousands of times larger than any ...

Realising that our solar system isn’t like most others out there has helped astronomers rewrite the story of how it formed ...

The supposed "strange signals" were not mysterious at all, but commonly observed transit signals, according to NASA.

A decade of observations of four planets around the young planetary system V1298 Tau revealed a rare, long-sought missing ...

At the beginning of the exoplanet age, the goals were fairly simple. The first was to find as many of them as possible to flesh out our understanding of the exoplanet population. The second was to ...

The hunt for worlds beyond our solar system has shifted from counting planets to confronting extremes that strain basic physics. In 2025, astronomers did not just add new dots to the map, they ...
