Planetary systems in the Milky Way galaxy tend to follow a particular pattern: rocky planets toward the center, closest to ...

Astronomers want to collect as much data as possible using as many systems as possible. Sometimes that requires coordination ...

Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

Scientists investigating the puzzling, long-lasting, and extreme dimming of a distant star have narrowed the suspects down to either a so-called “failed star” brown dwarf or a truly massive ...

The balloon-based EXCITE mission measures infrared phase curves of hot Jupiter exoplanets to map temperature and atmospheric composition from long-duration Antarctic flights.

A small red dwarf star in the Milky Way has drawn attention after astronomers mapped four closely orbiting planets around it. The system, known as LHS.

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...
