A rare super-Jupiter with a remarkably long 180-day orbit has emerged from years of patient observations, marking one of the ...

NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS has a new method for detecting worlds beyond the solar system, and it is thanks to ...

NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has confirmed a distant exoplanet that was hidden in its data by using a ...

Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than the sun and thus exist outside the solar system. The word "exoplanet" ...

Exoplanets are often discovered using the transit method (more than three-quarters of those discovered have been found this way.) The same transit technique can be used to study them, often revealing ...

The TESS space telescope has discovered hundreds of exoplanets. Now another one has been added, for which the method used ...

In principle, discovering new exoplanets is pretty easy. Simply measure the brightness of a star over time, and when a planet passes in front of the star, the brightness will dim slightly. The more ...

NASA's TESS identified a large new exoplanet orbiting far from its host star thanks to ripples in the space-time continuum.

NASA’s TESS satellite has identified a treasure trove of potential exoplanets, but those initial detections require detailed follow-ups to confirm. Now a network of citizen scientists has confirmed ...

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) revealed a distant planet located 40,000 light-years away using microlensing for the first time.

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet – a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system – using a technique known as ‘transit timing variation’. In research ...

Astronomers have detected over 5,800 confirmed exoplanets. One extreme class is ultra-hot Jupiters, of particular interest because they can provide a unique window into planetary atmospheric dynamics.
