Stars and their planets make their own eclipses – important scientific tools for detecting and characterizing exoplanets.

Two recently discovered exoplanets, gas giants possibly similar to Saturn, could be candidates for further atmospheric investigation.

A newly discovered 'super-Earth' dwells in the habitable zone of its parent star – and might have a roughly Earth-sized companion.

In a system with two known planets, astronomers spotted something new: a small object transiting across the Sun-sized star. This turned out to be another planet: extra hot and Earth-sized.

Fifteen years ago, astronomers delivered what is now an iconic direct image of an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b.

Six "sub-Neptunes" orbit their star in a kind of rhythmic dance – one easily set to music.

Scientists find that a glowing cloud that obscured a star was caused by a cataclysmic collision of two giant exoplanets.

A large, gaseous planet orbits a star that should have destroyed it.

With the discovery of six new exoplanets, scientists have tipped the scales and surpassed 5,500 exoplanets found (there are now 5,502 known exoplanets, to be exact).

Stars farther from the center of our galaxy possess fewer of the most common types of planets, a recent study shows.

Scientists used the Webb Telescope identified water vapor in the atmosphere of WASP-18 b, and made a temperature map of the planet as it slipped behind, and reappeared from, its star.

A team of astrophysicists and citizen scientists have identified what may be some of the last planets NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope observed during its nearly decade-long mission.
