When astronomers search for planets that could host liquid water on their surface, they start by looking at a star's ...

Scientists have identified three Earth-sized planets orbiting two stars in the TOI-2267 system. Remarkably, planets transit ...

A recent study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society reveals an impressive phenomenon concerning ...

There are no confirmed exomoons, moons orbiting distant exoplanets in other solar systems. There are a few candidates, but none have passed the threshold and been accepted as confirmed. But they must ...

Astronomers at the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory, led by Kevin Wagner, have identified evidence for a potential ...

The system, known as TOI-2267, is described as a compact binary - two stars locked in a tight orbit around one another, ...

Astronomers have discovered that aging stars may be devouring their closest giant planets as they swell into red giants. Using NASA’s TESS telescope to study nearly half a million stars, scientists ...

Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered that aging stars in their so-called "red giant" phase are even more destructive to their orbiting planets than ...

"This successful test marks a major step forward in the development of future satellite control systems." For the first time, ...

The study suggests that planets closest to their stars, especially those that orbit their stars in just 12 days or less, are at a higher risk of being sent to their doom by their aging suns.
