This image of the gas-giant exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab was taken with the coronagraph on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument). A star symbol marks the location of the host ...

How does a star’s activity influence exoplanet data obtained by scientists? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series hopes to address as a team of ...

Astronomers have discovered a brand new cold "super Jupiter" exoplanet, marking the closest of its kind ever found to us. The new planet, named Eps Ind Ab, orbits a star called Epsilon Indi A, only ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers imaged a new exoplanet that orbits a star in the nearby triple system Epsilon Indi. The planet is a cold super-Jupiter exhibiting a temperature ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet using the direct-imaging technique. The host star's light was blocked using a coronagraph to reveal a planet to its right. The light at the ...

In a landmark achievement, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet. About the same mass as Saturn, it was found in a star system about 111 light-years distant. It’s also the ...

Astronomers have just discovered a new Earth-sized exoplanet around SPECULOOS-3, an 'ultracool dwarf' star as small as Jupiter, twice as cold as our Sun, and located 55 light-years from Earth. After ...
