Astronomers Discover "Inside-Out" Planetary System With Rocky World Beyond Gas Planets, Challenging Formation Theories
Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

Astronomers Stunned By Three Earth-Sized Planets In Distant Unique Planetary System
The study revealed that TOI-2267 has two closely bound stars orbiting each other, and the third planet transits the companion star.

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

6 Planets Found In Synchronized Orbit May Help Solve Cosmic Puzzle
They are the most common type of planet observed in our Milky Way galaxy - two to three times the diameter of Earth but smaller than Neptune, and orbiting closer to their stars than our solar system's innermost planet Mercury does to the sun.

Two Planets Sharing The Same Orbit Around A Star? Astronomers Find Strong Evidence
The team spotted a cloud of debris that might be sharing the orbit of one of the two exoplanets known to orbit the young star PDS 70.

New Method to Discover Exoplanets Orbiting Violent Dead Stars Suggested by Researchers
Scientists may soon have a new way to detect planets that are orbiting Cataclysmic Variables (CVs), also known as violent stars. One star drawing material from the other, due to the lack of distance, thereby dimming the second star. The researchers measured the changes in the brightness of four CVs — LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Hercul...

NASA Confirms Existence of More Than 5,000 Exoplanets Beyond Our Solar System
NASA has said that these exoplanets include small, rocky worlds like Earth and “super Earths” which are larger than our own. There are also gas giants several larger than Jupiter and “mini-Neptunes.” Some of these planets orbit two stars at once and others stubbornly revolve around the collapsed remnants of dead stars.

NASA Uses New Technique to Find a Planet Which Orbits Around Two Different Stars
NASA scientists have found evidence for a new transiting circumbinary planet. The term refers to any planet which orbits around two different stars. The evidence was received using an unprecedented technique.

Astronomers Discover Two Super-Earths Orbiting a Star 11 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered two super-Earths around a star Gilese 887 that is approximately 11 light-years away from our planet. The two exoplanets – a term used for planets outside our solar system – are called Gilese 887b and Gilese 887c, and the scientists claim that they could ‘potentially host life’.

Exoplanet Discovered Years Ago Disappears in Latest Hubble Observations
An exoplanet that was last seen by Astronomers orbiting its star, Fomalhault, 25 light years away, is nowhere to be seen. It has been suggested that the supposed planet could actually be a dust cloud that formed after the collision of two icy bodies.
