Astronomers using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) have discovered a planetary system containing at least three small planets, orbiting...
K-type dwarf stars are dimmer than the Sun but brighter than the faintest stars. These stars live a very long time — 17 billion to 70 billion years,...
A decade after its launch and months after its mission ended, glimmers of data detected by NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope in 2009 have been confirmed...
For several years, scientists have tried to explain why so many pairs of exoplanets have an odd configuration — their orbits seem to have been pushed...
