The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large space telescope which collects light at infrared wavelengths. It has been ...

The supposed "strange signals" were not mysterious at all, but commonly observed transit signals, according to NASA.

Detecting exoplanets is one thing, but imaging them is another thing entirely. Astronomers can detect them by the way they block their star's light and by the way they make their stars wobble, and ...

Explore how astronomers aim to identify signs of alien life by analysing the atmospheres of distant exoplanets through ...

Universe Today reports on a new telescope proposal that could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exomoons, explaining current limits, future technology, and why moons around distant planets matter ...

Scientists are using powerful telescopes to study exoplanet atmospheres for signs of life. New missions could soon reveal ...

A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

Gravitational microlensing is a transient but powerful phenomenon that occurs when a foreground mass – such as a star or a planetary system – temporarily magnifies the light from a more distant ...
