Using direct imaging, astronomers have found a brown dwarf that could help test technology for taking snapshots of Earthlike ...

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

Analysis of early direct images from James Webb telescope show immense dust clouds on brown dwarf that lead to a blurring of ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...

Astronomers using the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile have now obtained the first direct confirmation of an exoplanet discovered by radial velocity. As the planet “Beta Pictoris c” ...

Astronomers observed giant helium clouds escaping exoplanet WASP-107b, revealing atmospheric loss and offering key insight ...

No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...
