Scientists have found thousands of planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets, throughout the galaxy. This artist’s concept shows how they range in size and composition, although scientists ...

Fast-forward to today: we’ve gone from one lonely planet to a catalog of thousands. The pace is accelerating. In 2015, NASA’s Kepler telescope had confirmed its 1,000th exoplanet. By 2022, the tally ...

Exoplanets are worlds outside our solar system. Just over three decades ago, the first exoplanets were confirmed by Aleksander Wolszczan and Dale Frail. Now, with the aid of Nasa spacecraft and ...

JWST data hints that Trappist-1e may have an atmosphere. More transits will test if this world could support liquid water. Recent observations with NASA’s advanced JWST telescope have revealed a ...

By 2015, NASA announced that Kepler had discovered its 1,000th exoplanet. 2016 was a banner year for exoplanet detections with nearly 1,500 in that year alone. The total number reached 5,000 in March ...

This brings us to the complexity of NASA's announcement. "Confirmed planets are added to the count on a rolling basis by scientists from around the world, so no single planet is considered the 6,000th ...

Nasa has discovered over 6,000 exoplanets - planets outside our Solar System and continue to search for Earth-like worlds that could support life.
