But while astronomers have searched for exomoons orbiting exoplanets around single stars like our sun, could exomoons exist around exoplanets orbiting binary stars? This is what a recent study ...

With winds blowing at 20,500 mph, "the planet has complex weather patterns just like Earth and other planets of our own ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered two ...

For centuries, planets beyond our solar system—called exoplanets—existed only in theory and science fiction. It seemed nearly impossible to detect planets light-years away, since the ...

So exomoons could well be some of the most important ... Dr Kipping's team have identified exoplanet Kepler 1625b as a potential candidate for hosting an exomoon, but they have not yet been ...

Planets outside our solar system can be wild, weird places. Astronomers have discovered exoplanets shaped like a rugby ball, or where it rains gems, or which have one hemisphere covered in lava. And ...

To date, astronomers have discovered more than 3,000 exoplanets - worlds orbiting stars other than the Sun. A hunt for exomoons - objects in orbit around those distant planets - has proceeded in ...

These exoplanets (planets orbiting a star other than our sun) orbit close to red dwarf stars that are smaller and cooler than the sun, and which make up over 75% of the 200 billion stars in the ...

The third-year targets for the JWST include potential exomoons, exoplanets, supermassive black holes, and distant galaxies from the early universe, among others. Several projects aim to determine ...
