From being the most Earth-like planet known to being consigned to the trash bin, the story of Gliese 581g is a precautionary tale for exoplanet hunters. In 2010, astronomers discovered what they ...

Astronomers have discovered a transiting exoplanet — named IRAS 04125+2902b — orbiting a 3-million-year-old, 0.7-solar-mass protostar in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. IRAS 04125+2902b has a radius of ...

A planet has been found orbiting a three-million-year-old star. Better still, it transits across the star’s face from our perspective, offering opportunities to see the starlight passing through ...

Many models used for running atmospheric calculations of early Earth and Earth-like exoplanets are based on a one-dimensional (1D) photochemical model developed at Penn State, explained Aoshuang ...

Located in the heart of Noordhoek, Aegir Project Brewery is a family-friendly restaurant that puts its taproom front and centre. Ever since its establishment in 2015, Aegir Project has been a small ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected possible signs of gases released by volcanic activity on a distant exoplanet. Today, we know of more than 5,000 exoplanets ...

The moon is mostly basaltic," he said. "We're testing basaltic materials here on Earth to eventually elucidate the composition of exoplanets through the James Webb Space Telescope data." ...

Exoplanets are the celestial bodies orbiting stars other than our Sun. Their small size makes them difficult to detect from Earth, particularly as they appear much dimmer than their parent stars ...

Exoplanets are planets located in a solar system other than our own. The first confirmed discovery was made in 1995. Since then, over 5,700 exoplanets have been discovered. The researchers’ discovery ...

Studying the life cycle of matter and energy throughout the cosmos is a relatively new endeavor for APL, but we’re making strides in our primary thrusts: exoplanet science and nuclear astrophysics.
