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.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured evidence of a planet beyond the solar system for the first time since its launch in 2021. The exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, has been ...

We have a couple of techniques that allow us to infer the presence of an exoplanet based on its effects on the light coming from its host star. But there’s an alternative approach that sometimes works ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

NASA has taken to its website to detail newly snapped images of an exoplanet called Epsilon Indi Ab, which the space agency says is one of coldest exoplanets it has observed to date. An international ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers imaged a new exoplanet that orbits a star in the nearby triple system Epsilon Indi. The planet is a cold super-Jupiter exhibiting a temperature ...

This image of the gas-giant exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab was taken with the coronagraph on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). A star symbol marks the location of the host ...

The big picture: The James Webb Space Telescope has directly imaged Epsilon Indi Ab, an exoplanet about 12 light-years from Earth that orbits the star Epsilon Indi A. This gas giant is one of the ...

Three hundred and forty light years from Earth, there burns a triple star system lighting a planet unlike any other world we've ever seen. What might you see, if you could go there and look up at its ...
