A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

Scientists harnessing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

One of the main questions in exoplanet science concerns M dwarfs (red dwarfs) and the habitability of exoplanets that orbit ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet using the direct-imaging technique. The host star's light was blocked using a coronagraph to reveal a planet to its right. The light at the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

Astronomers using the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile have now obtained the first direct confirmation of an exoplanet discovered by radial velocity. As the planet “Beta Pictoris c” ...

This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...

Webb telescope discovered a bizarre exoplanet with carbon atmosphere, no hydrogen, orbiting a super-dense spinning star.

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...

No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...
