There are thousands of known exoplanets, many of which are too dark to directly see, but scientists have made a 3D map by combining multiple imaging techniques.

The hunt for worlds beyond our solar system has shifted from counting planets to confronting extremes that strain basic physics. In 2025, astronomers did not just add new dots to the map, they ...

On this week’s episode of our YouTube exclusive show Space Beat, host Rob Landers and space team reporter Eric Lagatta discuss newly discovered evidence of UFOs in the skies around our nuclear test ...

For the first time, scientists have developed a 3D map of an atmosphere belonging to a planet outside our solar system. Attached to a particularly mysterious alien world, the newly charted atmosphere ...

NASA’s Kepler data reveals HD 137010 b, a cold, Earth-sized candidate. Though freezing cold, it offers valuable insights into planetary formation and life’s potential elsewhere.

What can a 3D map of an exoplanet’s atmosphere teach astronomers about the planet’s formation, evolution, and composition? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as ...

Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has detected a new exoplanet orbiting a nearby star. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-2431 b, is ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Astronomers have generated the first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones – one so scorching that it breaks ...

Astronomers have generated the first three-dimensional map of a planet orbiting another star, revealing an atmosphere with distinct temperature zones—one so scorching that it breaks down water vapor, ...

At the beginning of the exoplanet age, the goals were fairly simple. The first was to find as many of them as possible to flesh out our understanding of the exoplanet population. The second was to ...
