Scientists looked into data gathered by GPI in 2016 and located a planet orbiting two stars, 446 light-years away from Earth.

There is more than meets the eye for a distant gas giant planet. Astronomers have discovered that the extrasolar planet, or "exoplanet," not only has one of the weirdest orbits ever seen, but it is ...

Planet hunters have grown used to strange worlds, but a handful of discoveries now point to something even more radical: giant planets that loop around their stars on orbits so skewed they almost defy ...

The discovery of an extraordinary multi-planet system has demonstrated that so-called "hot Jupiter" planets may not be lonely giants after all. The findings could force scientists to revise their ...

Ultra-hot Jupiters — named as such because of their physical similarities to the planet Jupiter — are exoplanets that orbit stars other than the sun with temperatures so high that the molecules in ...

A peculiar planet unraveled by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has left astronomers scratching their heads. Despite being bombarded with intense radiation from its red giant parent ...
