Using data from NASA’s Kepler/K2 mission and several ground-based instruments, astronomers have discovered a planetary system with three transiting planets...
Using the archival data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, astronomers have identified a previously unknown dwarf nova that underwent a ‘supermaxima’...
Our Milky Way Galaxy consists of two disk-like structures, known as ‘thick’ and ‘thin’ disks. The thick disk contains only about 20% of the Galaxy’s...
A team of astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Georg August University of Göttingen and Sonneberg Observatory has...
A team of researchers from Google Brain, the University of Texas at Austin, MIT, the University of California, Berkeley, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for...
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...
An international team of astronomers has found a ‘super-Earth’ exoplanet orbiting HD 285181, a 3.7-billion-year-old solar-type star approximately 294...
Astronomers using data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope have discovered a planet roughly twice the size of Earth orbiting a star in the low-mass binary...
Astronomers have discovered a frozen exoplanet nearly the size of Neptune orbiting the quiet G9-type dwarf star K2-263.
An artist’s impression of the...
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, which spent nine years in deep space collecting data that detected thousands of exoplanets, has run out of fuel needed...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope have assembled compelling evidence for the existence of a large...
Astronomers have discovered a ‘super-Earth’ exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star 473 light-years from Earth.
An artist’s impression of the super-Earth...
Our Sun rotates faster at its equator than at its poles. This process is known as differential rotation and is seen in the motion of sunspots. Now, a team...
Astronomers using data from the Kepler spacecraft’s K2 mission have discovered two mini-Neptune exoplanets orbiting a star in an open star cluster called...
A research team led by Harvard University astronomer Li Zeng has shown that water is likely to be a major component of extrasolar planets which are between...
The NASA Kepler spacecraft’s reborn K2 mission announced this week the discovery of 78 new potential exoplanets: 30 high-quality planet candidates and...
An extrasolar planet larger than the Earth has been discovered orbiting a nearby cool star, thanks to data gathered by NASA’s Kepler/K2 mission.
Artist’s...
An international team of astronomers from the United States, Australia, and Brazil has identified 121 giant exoplanets in the habitable zones of their...
Astronomers using data from NASA’s Kepler K2 mission have discovered two new planetary systems, one of which contains two super-Earths and the other...
An international team of astronomers has discovered a planetary system containing at least three massive planets, orbiting the bright late-G/early-K-type...
