Through the looking glass: Observations from NASA's Kepler mission ended in 2018, but scientists are still pouring over what it recorded. That data can include information about new solar systems and ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken the deepest look yet at Kepler-51d, an ultra-low-density exoplanet sometimes compared to cotton candy, and found that a thick atmospheric haze blocks nearly ...

These three exoplanets are among the least dense ever found, and all attempts to probe their atmospheres have been blocked by a mysterious smog.

A hazy, ultra-light “super-puff” planet, Kepler-51d, is hiding its secrets and challenging how scientists understand planet formation.

AMES, Iowa – An international team of astronomers has used nearly three years of high precision data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft to make the first observations of a planet outside our solar system ...

A thick layer of haze around the ultra-low-density planet Kepler-51d likely obscures not only the strange planet's ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to capture the most detailed look yet at the atmosphere of Kepler-51d, a planet so lightweight it has been compared to cotton candy. The new data ...

NASA’s Kepler Mission has released 43 days of science data on more than 156,000 stars. These stars are being monitored for subtle brightness changes as part of an ongoing search for Earth-like planets ...

NASA’s Kepler observatory should be able to detect planetary moons – yet to be discovered – formed by far-away planetary collisions outside our Solar System, research by Amy Barr of the Planetary ...

AMES, Iowa – Astronomers poring over four years of data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft have discovered a star that’s 11.2 billion years old and has at least five Earth-size planets. “We thus show that ...
