Scientists have discovered a rare six-planet system, HD 110067, where all planets orbit their star in perfect mathematical ...

Scientists have used data from NASA's retired planet-hunting space telescope 'Kepler' to discover that small and large worlds have very different upbringings. The team found that larger planets on non ...

UCLA astrophysicists have now measured the shape of the orbits of exoplanets—from the size of Jupiter down to the size of ...

Scientists using a NASA space telescope have discovered a tantalizing world. It's about the size of Earth, sits remarkably close to our solar system, and could be comfortable for life as we know it.

Studying the orbits of thousands of exoplanets shows that large planets tend to have elliptical orbits, while smaller planets tend to have more circular orbits. This split coincides with several other ...

An asteroid named 2025 PN7 has been in quasi-orbit of Earth for approximately 60 years. It's expected to stay there for ...

NASA's forthcoming Nancy Grace Roman Telescope will hunt for "cosmic orphans," starless planets that might even outnumber their orbiting counterparts in our galaxy. When you purchase through links on ...

Editor’s note: The Focus on Research column highlights different research projects and topics being explored at Penn State. The following originally appeared on The Conversation. Imagine you’re a ...

The exoplanet Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star. The potentially habitable planet could be a good place to search for ...

Every few thousand years, an unlucky star wanders too close to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. The black hole’s powerful gravity rips the star apart, sending a long streamer of gas ...
