A protective atmosphere, a friendly Sun, and lots of liquid water — Earth is a special place. Using the unprecedented capabilities of the NASA/ESA/CSA...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are expected to be the most abundant class of organic molecules in space, yet their their lifecycle in the interstellar...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have detected silicate clouds in the atmosphere of the exoplanet YSES-1c and a circumplanetary...
Sub-Neptunes are high-occurrence exoplanets that have no solar system analog. Much smaller than gas giants and typically cooler than hot-Jupiter exoplanets,...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have detected the chemical fingerprints of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulfide...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected oxygen in the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found, JADES-GS-z14-0....
Using data from the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected carbon dioxide...
There is a significant difference between the two edges of the atmosphere of WASP-107b, a super-Neptune exoplanet about the size of Jupiter but only a...
It’s 7 billion years ago, and the Universe’s heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way Galaxy have looked like at that...
Two-dimensional (2D) aurora images with full spectrum have been captured by scientists in Japan using the newly-developed hyperspectral camera for auroral...
Planetary scientists using spectral data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed the detection of hydroxyl molecules on the surface...
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet five times the mass of Jupiter that makes a very peculiar orbit around its star.
An artist’s impression of TIC...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have obtained and analyzed morning and evening transmission spectra of WASP-39b, a hot-Saturn...
LHS 1140b is the second-closest temperate transiting exoplanet to Earth with a temperature low enough to support surface liquid water.
LHS 1140b may be...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have detected trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere of the Jupiter-sized exoplanet...
With an estimated distance of 140 parsecs (457 light-years), the L-subdwarf star CWISE J124909+362116.0 (J1249+36 for short) has a total speed of at least...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have spotted a collision of giant asteroids around Beta Pictoris, the second brightest star...
Very-low-mass stars host orbiting rocky exoplanets more frequently than other types of stars. The compositions of those planets are largely unknown but...
Astronomers using the NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have obtained the spectrum of...
