Updated measurements from NASA’s Juno spacecraft could help researchers better understand the planet's mysterious interior, ...

New data from NASA's Juno orbiter reveals Jupiter is slightly smaller and more 'squashed' than scientists previously thought.

Historically, the brightest comets often become known as “Great Comets”. The Great Comet of 1965 – C/1965 S1 (Ikeya-Seki) – ...

Jupiter is officially “smaller” than it was yesterday. To be clear: the planet itself didn’t physically contract overnight.

“Textbooks will need to be updated,” study co-author Yohai Kaspi, a planetary scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, said in a statement. “The size of Jupiter hasn’t changed, of ...

A possible rocky exoplanet referred to as a 'cold Earth' that could orbit on the outer edge of the habitable zone has been found around a star 146 light-years away.

Astronomers have identified an Earth-like exoplanet 146 light-years away with a similar orbit and a Sun-like star. Could it ...

NASA has discovered a new planet nearly 146 light-years from Earth that shows remarkable similarities to our planet. Named ...

One such mystery, described in a recent paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, concerns circumbinary exoplanets—or rather, the shortage thereof—in the now 6,000+ exoplanets confirmed to date.

NASA has announced the discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star that shares several other similarities with ...

A newly identified Earth-sized exoplanet with a year-long orbit may lie near its star’s habitable zone, but extreme cold could limit its chances of hosting liquid water.

In theory, hundreds of circumbinary planets should have been detected by missions such as NASA’s Kepler and TESS space ...
