An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of two new exoplanets, a few times more massive than Earth, ...

These brown dwarfs, intermediate objects between giant planets and stars, form a rare binary system. The exoplanet, named 2M1510 (AB) b, was detected through the gravitational disturbances it induces ...

Using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network, researchers identified planets with masses larger than Earth's and orbits wider than Saturn's. The study challenges old theories about planetary ...

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was ...

Every planet follows an elliptical path around the Sun at a different speed and distance, and the Moon travels around Earth at a skewed angle about Earth's orbit. Periodically, these orbits ...

WASHINGTON, April 24 — Astronomers have spotted a small rocky planet that orbits perilously close to its host star disintegrating as its surface is vaporised by stellar heat, trailed by a comet-like ...

Jose-Luis Olivares / MIT Astronomers have spotted a distant planet shedding matter with each orbit around its host star, generating a comet-like tail of debris. As detailed in a study published ...
