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.

Using direct imaging, astronomers have found a brown dwarf that could help test technology for taking snapshots of Earthlike ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

Analysis of early direct images from James Webb telescope show immense dust clouds on brown dwarf that lead to a blurring of ...

This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...

The team discovered that the surface might contain liquid water, an essential ingredient for life. Astronomers from the, Irvine have discovered a planet orbiting within the “habitable zone” of its ...

No planets cooler than about 35.33 degrees Fahrenheit had ever been detected. An exoplanet discovered in 2020 contains the coldest temperatures ever measured on a planetary body, according to ...

Three hundred and forty light years from Earth, there burns a triple star system lighting a planet unlike any other world we've ever seen. What might you see, if you could go there and look up at its ...
