What drives us to send probes throughout the solar system and rovers and landers to Mars? It's not cheap, and it's not easy.

What can Venus-like exoplanets, also known as exoVenuses, teach us about our own solar system and potentially finding life ...

Astronomers have identified an exoplanet named Enaiposha, also known as GJ 1214 b, located 47 light-years from Earth.

The atmospheres of exoplanets are our observable window on the physical and chemical properties of these objects. In the last ten years, the study of exoplanetary atmospheres has become one of the ...

Scientists found a bizarre new planet named Enaiposha, unlike any in our solar system. Learn why it's a mystery and how it’s ...

A new study is challenging the science of the formation of sub-Neptunian planets, which are the most common in the Milkey Way ...

For decades, astronomers have classified exoplanets into neat categories: rocky Earth-like planets, gas giants like Jupiter, ...

This pattern, known as an “extinction curve,” helps scientists determine the composition of dust and understand its environment, including the radiation conditions in different regions of interstellar ...

Venus is a Victim of a Rampant Greenhouse Effect Venus's atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gasses that traps heat and causes the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide ...

Led by MIT, the new study indicates that emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing the upper atmosphere to contract, reducing drag on older satellites and debris – and thereby ...
