The transit-method of exoplanet-detection is pretty straightforward, conceptually: First you find a distant star. If the light from it dims, it could be due to a planet in its orbit that has passed ...

Using the radial velocity method, an international team of astronomers has discovered a new extrasolar planet orbiting a nearby star known as GI 410. The newfound alien world was classified as a ...

A massive super-Earth, dubbed Kepler-725c, has been discovered orbiting within the habitable zone of its host star, offering new possibilities in the search for Earth-like conditions beyond our solar ...

When the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995, Sara Seager and Dave Charbonneau were graduate students at Harvard. Both were studying topics totally unrelated to planets orbiting distant stars. Yet ...

We present results of the final Kepler Data Processing Pipeline search for transiting planet signals in the full 17-quarter primary mission dataset. The search includes a total of 198,709 stellar ...

Up until now, exoplanet surveys have mostly focused on nearby, bright stars that are sun-like or are red dwarfs, which are known to frequently host planets. While astronomers have discovered thousands ...

August 14, 2025, Mountain View, CA -- The SETI Institute awarded the Davie Postdoctoral Fellowship for AI/ML-driven exoplanet discovery to Isabel Angelo. Machine learning is changing the way we search ...

How common are super-Earth exoplanets throughout the universe? This is what a recent study published in Science hopes to address as an international team of more than 60 researchers used a well-known ...
