Astronomers had hoped to observe an atmosphere on one of the seven planets known to orbit Trappist-1, a red dwarf star. A new study found nothing to write home about. By Jacey Fortin In the search for ...

A giant planet the size of Saturn orbiting a sun-like star has potentially been identified in our nearest neighbouring stellar system, Alpha Centauri. At just four light years from Earth, Alpha ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers detected a potential gas giant exoplanet, designated S1, orbiting Alpha Centauri A, a star in the closest stellar system to Earth. The ...
