Researchers have peered into the atmosphere of planet WASP-121b and found its climate is stranger than anyone imagined.

However, no dimming was measured, leading the researchers to conclude that the planet has no atmosphere. The research team performed model calculations that show that haze can reverse the ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured an unexpected observation of a nearby planet that’s having its atmosphere blasted away by energetic outbursts from its star. It’s a dramatic change from the ...

The JWST just scored another first: a detailed molecular and chemical portrait of a distant world’s skies. The telescope’s array of highly sensitive instruments was trained on the atmosphere of a “hot ...

A young planet is so close to its parent star that it experiences a consistent blast of energy which evaporates its hydrogen atmosphere, according to NASA.

Earth's atmosphere protects the planet in more ways than one. This thin band of air is unique to Earth, and we wouldn't exist without it. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

This illustration provided by NASA in 2017 depicts the planet 55 Cancri e, right, orbiting its star. A thick atmosphere has been detected around the planet, which is twice as big as Earth in a ...

July 28 (UPI) --The Hubble Space Telescope observed a young planet that is orbiting so close to its parent star that it is spewing its atmosphere into space, NASA said.
