A new classification scheme may help us better understand planet formation — including the history of our own family of worlds.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope captured direct images of gas giants in HR 8799, revealing their carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres.

The entire solar system, ours at least, sits inside a pocket of low density called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This cavity in space is 1,000 light-years across, at least, and tips the thermometer at ...

Carbon dioxide has been detected on a planet outside our solar system for the first time. The gas has been observed directly by the James Webb Space Telescope on four exoplanets, all belonging to ...

The findings suggest planets in a system 130 light-years away likely built up solid cores before attracting gas, much like our solar system’s gas worlds. Webb’s coronagraphs allow direct atmospheric ...
