The discovery of salty mineral evaporites on Ryugu indicates that watery environments may have been widespread in the early ...

A new study challenges traditional models of how planets form. A new analysis of existing data suggests that exoplanets with masses comparable to Jupiter may have formed significantly earlier than ...

Scientists are using an array of instruments to detect other planets, some of which may harbor life—and others that most ...

China’s 600,000 workers are transforming the Taklamakan Desert with a 3,050-km green belt, using solar power and resilient ...

Young, close-orbiting exoplanets known as sub-Neptunes may form farther from their stars and migrate inward or lose their ...

Astronomers have announced that the James Webb Space Telescope has successfully captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide gas on a planet beyond our solar system. The findings are both a ...

Pull requests help you collaborate on code with other people. As pull requests are created, they’ll appear here in a searchable and filterable list. To get started, you should create a pull request.

A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system ...

This graph shows a spectrum of one of the planets in the HR 8799 system, HR 8799 e, which displays the amounts of near-infrared light detected from the planet by Webb at different wavelengths ...

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 ...

Using advanced simulations, the researchers propose that these planets emerge from distinct rings of planetesimals, providing fresh insight into planetary evolution beyond our solar system.
