'Found you!' Astronomers spot faintest exoplanet ever seen from Earth after a decade of hi
It has taken over ten years, but astronomers have finally won a prolonged game of cosmic hide-and-seek with a planet hiding around the star Beta Pictoris.
NASA’s Webb Discovers Hidden Planet in Famous Star System
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, called an exoplanet, hiding within one of the most intensely studied planetary systems in our Milky Way galaxy. The young, nearby star Beta Pictoris was already known to h
Faintest planet ever imaged from Earth found after more than 10 years of hide-and-seek
A team of astronomers has discovered a third planet orbiting the star Beta Pictoris. The new planet, Beta Pictoris d, is 100 times fainter than Beta Pictoris b—the first planet discovered in the same system—and is among the lightest exoplanets ever imaged from the ground. After s
Searching for alien life: New model could help scientists home in on habitable exoplanets
A new exoplanet model screens rocky worlds by their ability to retain atmospheres over geologic timescales, helping narrow the search for potentially habitable planets beyond Earth.
This 'improbable' exoplanet system is so wonky because of a weird object within

This is the largest and most detailed image of our Milky Way — with over 60 million stars
The ESA's dark universe detective spacecraft Euclid, has studied the heart of the Milky Way, creating the largest and most detailed photo of this region ever made.
Two 'super-puff' cotton candy exoplanets are the lightest gas giants ever discovered
Astronomers have discovered two "super-puff" exoplanets orbiting the same star that have densities lower than cotton candy, making them the lightest worlds ever seen.
NASA’s TESS Mission Finds Planetary System in New Way
For the first time, NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission has identified a planet orbiting a distant star thanks to ripples in space-time. Unlike the star-hugging transiting planets TESS regularly reveals, the newfound world is a super-Jupiter orbiting far f
This weird 'hot Jupiter' exoplanet has a hotspot in the wrong place, and astronomers aren'
Astronomers have discovered a curious new exoplanet that challenges assumptions about hot Jupiters, some of the most extreme planets in the universe.
