In a mission that changed our understanding of gas giants, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft made history not just in orbit but also ...

"Our experiments provide clues to better understand JWST Europa observations and serve as a prelude to upcoming close-range ...

Astronomers have characterized the atmosphere of a young (20 Myr old) transiting exoplanet and found it to be unusually clear and puffy. By analyzing the planet's atmospheric features, they were able ...

What happens when matter is squeezed so harshly that the rules of chemistry and physics seem to collapse? Deep below the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, hydrogen the most primitive and ...

Scientists are racing to learn as much as possible about the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS before it fades from view forever ...

A rocky planet with a 24-hour orbit and an ice giant that takes five years to complete its orbit have been detected orbiting ...

WASP-121b is unlike anything in our Solar System. This giant planet orbits its star so closely that it completes a full orbit ...

In October 1604, astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler spotted a new star in the sky and began tracking it. Over the ...

The event, titled "Out of This World," will feature the Massapequa Philharmonic performing composer Gustav Holst's masterwork against a backdrop of NASA imagery as well as commentary by Jackie Faherty ...

So, you want to know more about Jupiter? Good choice! This giant planet is seriously cool and has a ton of mysteries that even scientists are still trying to figure out. We’re talking about the ...

KELT-9b is an ultra-hot Jupiter observed to be undergoing extreme mass-loss. Its A0-type host star has a radiative envelope, which makes its surface layers prone to retaining recently accreted ...

We find that silicates dominate the cloud composition, forming an optically thick cloud deck on the nightsides of all hot Jupiters with T (eq) <= 2100 K. The observed nightside temperature is thus ...
