NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered an extraordinary planet that's roughly the size of Earth but is only one-tenth of our planet's age, with half of its surface likely ...

This exoplanet transit shows background stars that could be biasing calculations of the exoplanet's size. Credit: Nikolai Berman/UC Irvine New research suggests that scientists (and their computer ...

Scientists discovered the first binary system, TOI-2267, using NASA's planet-hunting spacecraft TESS, revealing a unique planetary setup.

Using NASA's planet-hunting spacecraft TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite), astronomers have discovered three ...

A NASA mission has spotted an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting a small star about 100 light-years away. The planet, named TOI 700 e, is likely rocky and 95% the size of our world. The celestial body is ...

Astronomers have discovered an unusual Earth-sized exoplanet they believe has a hemisphere of molten lava, with its other hemisphere tidally locked in perpetual darkness. Co-authors and study leaders ...

Astronomers have discovered a “forbidden” planet that appears to be far larger than should be possible given its circumstances. A team of researchers investigated a candidate exoplanet called TOI ...

From the brightness variations of its host star, an exoplanet’s size and other properties can be determined. In order to avoid mistakes, the star’s magnetic field is decisive 700 light years away from ...

In this study, we investigated the differences between four commonly-used exoplanet catalogs (exoplanet.eu; exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu; openexoplanetcatalogue.com; exoplanets.org) using a ...
