The James Webb Space Telescope has clearly detected carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of an exoplanet for the first time. The find marks a milestone for the telescope’s goal of analyzing distant planets, which could eventually help discover signs of ext… Continue reading James Webb detects carbon dioxide in exoplanet atmosphere for first time
Have you ever wished we could peek at all these exoplanets that have been recently discovered? We aren’t likely to visit anytime soon, but it would be possible to build …read more Continue reading Truly Giant Telescope Could Image Exoplanets
The hunt for planets beyond our solar system has truly taken off over the last few decades, so it’s no surprise that exoplanet news has become a staple of New Atlas’ science coverage. With the recent discovery of the 5,000th exoplanet coinciding with o… Continue reading Brave New Worlds: The age of exoplanet discovery
The hunt for planets beyond our solar system has now reached a major milestone. Astronomers report the discovery of the 5,000th exoplanet – with potentially hundreds of billions left to find.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Exoplanet, Plan… Continue reading NASA confirms discovery of 5,000th exoplanet – with billions more to find
Ice may seem pretty simple in our everyday experience, but it actually comes in at least 20 different forms. Scientists at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) have now discovered a new type of ice that may be found deep in the Earth’s mantle or o… Continue reading Strange new form of ice discovered in high pressure experiments
Astronomers may have detected a new exoplanet around Proxima Centauri, the star closest to our solar system. This tiny new world is one of the lightest ever discovered, which is even more impressive given the technique the team used to find it.Continue… Continue reading Tiny new planet discovered around Sun’s nearest neighbor
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory may have spotted the first exoplanet outside our Milky Way galaxy. Located in Messier 51 (M51), also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, the giant exoplanet candidate circles a black hole or neutron star 28 million light yea… Continue reading Have astronomers just discovered the first exoplanet outside our galaxy?
Astronomers have discovered strange radio signals that could be coming from unseen planets. Models suggest that some of the signals could be produced through interactions between the magnetic fields of planets and their host stars, which could represen… Continue reading Mysterious radio signals may be coming from undiscovered planets
One Sun is plenty for our solar system, but some planets have been found orbiting two stars at once. Now the ante has been upped again, with evidence emerging of a planet orbiting three stars at once.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Astron… Continue reading Evidence of first planet orbiting three stars discovered in dusty disc
More than 4,400 exoplanets have been discovered to date, and in the hunt for whether there may be life out there most of our attention has been focused on Earth-like worlds. But now, astronomers have defined a new class of exoplanet called “Hycean” wor… Continue reading Say hi to Hycean worlds, a new class of exoplanet that could host life
