There's bad news for our hopes of habitable planets existing around TRAPPIST-1, with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) finding no evidence for an Earth-like atmosphere on a third world orbiting ...

Scientists are using powerful telescopes to study exoplanet atmospheres for signs of life. New missions could soon reveal ...

— -- Astronomers on Monday reported the discovery of an Earth-like planet outside the solar system whose size and distance from its own star put it in the "habitable" zone and make for a surface ...

Scientists are observing an Earth-like exoplanet that may contain water using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the space agency said in a news release. The exoplanet, known as TRAPPIST-1 e, orbits ...

NASA researchers have identified Kepler 452b, the most Earth-like planet discovered to date, orbiting a sun-like star in the habitable zone. This video explains why the find matters and how upcoming ...

As telescopes have become more powerful, we’ve been finding tons of “exoplanets”—planets orbiting faraway stars. One such planet, known as exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d, has intrigued astronomers looking for ...
