Exoplanet WD 1856 b, shown in this artist’s concept, is a gas giant that orbits its star at a distance 50 times closer than Earth orbits the Sun. Observations by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope found methane, aerosols, and a tidal heat signature on WD 1856 b — a Jupiter-sized world ...

The planet has a minimum mass just over twice that of Earth and orbits its star at a distance that causes it to receive almost the same amount of starlight as Earth does. The planet joins a growing ...

Extensive observations by NASA's New Horizons mission have resulted in the first-ever map of the galaxy in an ultraviolet wavelength. NASA's New Horizons Pluto probe is gearing up to cross the ...

Based on the behavior of winds on seven large and hot gas exoplanets, astronomers have obtained the strongest evidence to date that planets beyond our solar system possess magnetic fields, like Earth ...

A vertical dark band cutting through a bright nebula marks the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star IRAS 04302+2247. Observations of such disks will help astronomers understand how small ...

The protostar L1527, shown in this image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, is embedded within a cloud of material that is feeding its growth. Material ejected from the star has cleared ...
