The exoplanet Enaiposha, or GJ 1214 b, is a hazy world orbiting a red dwarf star about 47 light-years from Earth. Previously likened to a mini-Neptune, in-depth observations obtained using JWST now ...
Astronomers discovered supersonic winds on a giant gas planet located over 500 light-years from Earth. In a study released Tuesday in Astronomy & Astrophysics astronomers who have been studying ...
The fastest wind ever measured in our solar system was on Neptune, with gusts of more than 1,100 miles per hour. But those powerful gales are nothing compared to the supersonic winds that astronomers ...
Planets with suns like Wolf 359 are subject to huge blasts of radiation that raise questions about their long-term habitability.
Emily Simpson, a passionate space enthusiast and recent Florida Tech graduate, has published groundbreaking research that imagines an alternate version of our solar system. Instead of the asteroid ...
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two ...
Explore the extraordinary weather phenomena on WASP-127b, where supersonic winds reach speeds of 33,000 kilometers per hour.
The so-called 'planetesimal belts' are filled with tiny millimeter-sized particles created by collisions between comets.
WASP-127b's diameter is about 30% larger than Jupiter, our solar system's largest planet. But its mass is only about 16% that ...
Here on Earth, the fastest puff of wind on record was a blustery 407 kilometers (253 miles) per hour, measured on Australia's ...
It also has a thick atmosphere, veiled by dense aerosols, that seemed impenetrable — until now. With the cutting-edge ...
Exoplanet WASP-127b is a hot Jupiter, a gas giant planet orbiting very close to its star. The system is more than 500 ...
