The first known exoplanets were detected in the early 1990s, using ground-based telescopes that could catch stars wobbling on their axes, a sign that a planet might be swinging around nearby.

The search for life beyond our planet continues, and one of the most underappreciated tools in an astrobiologist's toolkit is ...

Science has used this simple planet model until today for investigating exoplanets—planets that orbit another star outside our solar system. advertisement Phys.org ...

For centuries, planets beyond our solar system—called exoplanets—existed only in theory and science fiction. It seemed nearly impossible to detect planets light-years away, since the ...

Exoplanet scientists have worked on the idea of the VRE as a biosignature for a few years. It’s based on the fact that chlorophyll absorbs light in the visible part of the spectrum and is almost ...

This artist’s concept shows what the exoplanet WASP-39 b could look like based on indirect transit observations from JWST and other space- and ground-based telescopes.
