The NIRPS spectrometer, located at a high-altitude observatory in Chile, has detected a very unusual exoplanet, GJ 3090 b.

Of thousands of known exoplanets, only a handful orbit their star “backwards”. Now one has been found where it’s unclear how it started.

Astronomers have detected radio waves coming directly from an exoplanet for the first time. The signal from Beta Pictoris b could reveal secrets about its powerful magnetic field and auroras.

There's no proof of other life beyond Earth yet, but scientists are constantly looking out and listening for signs that we're not actually alone in the Universe.

Exoplanet TOI 1227 b is being bombarded by x-rays from its host red dwarf star, causing it to “shrink from the size of Jupiter with a thick atmosphere to a small, barren world,” according to the NASA ...

For the first time, scientists have directly detected radio waves coming from a planet outside our solar system. The discovery was made from the young gas giant Beta Pictoris b, giving astronomers a ...

The gas giant Beta Pictoris b, about 63 light-years away, has the mass of 10 Jupiters and a magnetic field thousands of times as strong as Earth’s.

A star and its planets form when a cloud of gas and dust collapses in on itself somewhere in space. The cloud then forms a disk around the nascent star, within which the planets will form. This ...

Astronomers confirmed Elias 2-24 b as the youngest known exoplanet, offering a rare glimpse of a giant planet still forming.
