It's not just a party, it's a bonanza.That's what NASA officials are calling the 715 new planets...Poulisse, Adam
NASA has compiled a list of nearly 5,000 possible planets, more than 3,200 of which have been verified – including 2,325 that were discovered by Kepler. To be classified as a planet, researchers must confirm its status within a 99 percent likelihood. The research that led to the confirma...

NASA hasfound new evidenceof 219 planets outside our Solar System. Ten of those exoplanets appear to be similar to the size of the Earth and orbit their stars in thehabitable zone— just far enough away to develop water, but not so far that they freeze. If confirmed, they would be adde...
"The three newly discovered moons are the faintest ever found around these two ice giant planets using ground-based telescopes," explained Scott Sheppard, a member of the Carnegie Institution for Science, Earth and Planets Laboratory. "It took special image processing to reveal such faint objects....
NASA’s Kepler space telescope has been floating in space since early 2009, and it’s already outlived its planned mission window by a handful of years, but that’s not stopping it from continuing to find some seriously awesome objects outside of our Solar System. The team that runs the ...
NASA and its engineering partners are using generative design to create novel solutions for mass-sensitive missions such as the EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) and the Mars Sample Return Mission. From primordial black holes and rogue planets to supernovas and antimatter, space is full...
The Starship progress this year is important, because SpaceX and NASA have a relatively tight timeline for the rocket: It's the crewed lander for the agency's Artemis 3 moon mission, which is currently scheduled to lift off in mid-2027. And SpaceX...
New Horizons is the first NASA spacecraft to fly by Pluto and the fifth to speed beyond the outer planets. So many of its activities set distance records. According to a statement by NASA, the probe snapped a false-color image of a group of stars known as "Wishing Well" on Dec. 5,...
A NASA telescope that will give humans the largest, deepest, clearest picture of the universe since the Hubble Space Telescope could find as many as 1,400 new planets outside Earth's solar system, new research suggests.
