JWST exoplanet direct imaging reached a new milestone when astronomers first characterized a cold super-Jupiter just 12 light-years away — and found unexpected water-ice clouds that standard ...

Astronomers have discovered the first evidence of magnetic worlds beyond the solar system, representing a major step forward ...

Astronomers have now clocked winds exceeding 15,500 mph on seven ultra-hot Jupiters, and the data point to something long ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

A game-changing instrument is set to improve the detection and direct imaging of planets outside our Solar System by harnessing the power of liquid crystals. The Programmable Liquid-crystal Active ...

Mars holds a special place in the solar system. It represents marginal habitability. This means it transitioned from warm and wet and potentially hospitable, to cold and dry and inhospitable. "Mars is ...

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.
