This discovery marks the fastest jetstream ever measured on any known planet and sheds new light on the complex and extreme weather patterns of exoplanets beyond our Solar System. WASP-127b has ...

The Crescent City Connection bridge partially reopened Wednesday afternoon after historic snowfall blanketed New Orleans, though city officials still advise residents to avoid using it. The ...

Data collected in this process called for careful analysis, according to researcher Kazumasa Ohno, opening up new knowledge on the exoplanet atmosphere. Super-Venus GJ 1214 b offers new insights ...

Supersonic winds on this exoplanet, designated WASP-127b, travel at a mind-bending 5.5 miles per second (9 kilometers per second). The speed of sound on Earth is roughly 0.21 miles per second (0. ...

I vividly recall my heart pounding as I stood in the famous Big Pink basement and watched him slowly descend the staircase and soak in a room he hadn’t occupied in nearly five decades.

Lisa Nortmann at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and her colleagues used the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile to observe WASP-127b, a giant gas exoplanet more ...

Astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds on WASP-127b, a giant exoplanet, reaching speeds of up to 33,000 km/h. This marks the fastest jetstream ever measured on a planet. The discovery, ...

Artist’s impression of GJ 1214 b passing in front of its host star. The “transit method” allows astronomers to study an exoplanet by seeing which wavelengths of light dim when the star’s light passes ...

"The rate at which the planet is evaporating is utterly cataclysmic, and we are incredibly lucky to be witnessing the final hours of this dying planet." Using NASA's exoplanet-hunter TESS ...

Because red dwarfs are the most prevalent types of stars, astronomers have looked hard to find exoplanets around them. Astronomers have found some evidence for two planets in orbit around Wolf 359 ...

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. — For the first time, astronomers have taken a direct look at an exoplanet’s insides. An exoplanet about 800 light-years away is spilling its guts into space, and new ...
