New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...

SpaceX launched the Crew-12 mission this morning here from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, sending four astronauts to the ISS for an eight-month stay. The Crew Dragon "Freedom ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS 1903 is an ancient star, around seven billion years old, and only has about ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

The Egg Nebula, located around 1,000 light years away, is home to a dying star entering last phase of its life.

A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...

NASA's Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) was built for ...

Learn about HD 137010 b, a cold Earth‑sized planet candidate that sits near the outer edge of its star’s habitable zone.

The candidate is coined HD 137010 b. It would orbit a K-type dwarf star approximately 146 light-years from Earth. The evidence comes from a single transit pattern seen in K2 data from 2017: the star ...

The combustible sedimentary rock, better known as coal, was not only crucial to the onset of advanced technology here on Earth, but it should also be key to the development of advanced E.T.s residing ...

Lead author Dr Craig Walton, of ETH Zurich, told the Daily Mail: 'You could feasibly have a planet that looks great with ...

A planet that looks faintly familiar has emerged from old space telescope data, though it may be far from welcoming. Scientists analysing observations.
