What the heck is this?”was the typical reaction of astronomers, and this is how scientists reacted when they received their ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned up a world that looks more like a squeezed citrus fruit than a planet, a distorted ...

Webb telescope discovered a bizarre exoplanet with carbon atmosphere, no hydrogen, orbiting a super-dense spinning star.

Using JWST, scientists discovered PSR J2322-2650b — a carbon-rich, lemon-shaped exoplanet orbiting a pulsar — challenging ...

A newly discovered exoplanet is rewriting the rules of what planets can be. Orbiting a city-sized neutron star, this ...

Pulsars emit a lot of radiation, in particular high-energy gamma-rays and radio waves pulses. That light is invisible to JWST, which studies the universe in infrared, but it affects the planet’s ...

But that’s nothing compared with PSR J2322-2650b, an object the mass of Jupiter studied recently by the James Webb Space Telescope. This planet’s equatorial diameter is about 38 percent wider than its ...

Astronomers have discovered a carbon-rich exoplanet with a bizarre atmosphere and shape, orbiting a neutron star under extreme conditions that challenge current models of planetary formation. Scientis ...

Outer space never fails to remind us just how much we don't know. Astronomers have uncovered a lemon-shaped planet that ...

Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have observed a rare type of exoplanet, or planet outside our solar system, whose atmospheric composition challenges our understanding of how it ...

Astronomers from the University of Manchester have recently presented a study at the National Astronomy Meeting (NAM 2022) revealing that exoplanets orbiting rapidly rotating stars known as pulsars ...

A once-massive star that's been transformed into a small planet made of diamond: that's what astronomers think they've found in our Milky Way. A once-massive star that's been transformed into a small ...
