NASA Confirms Hundreds of New Planets More NASA|AP File An undated file artists concept provided by NASA shows the Kepler space telescope moving through space. NASA researchers on Tuesday confirmed the discovery of 1,284 new planets, including nine that could support life, nearly doubling the ...
looking for tiny dips in brightness caused by the passage (or "transit") of orbiting planets as small as Earth across the faces of those stars.

Asteroids and comets aren't travelling through space chaotically and unpredictably. In the distant past, things were more chaotic in the young Solar System, as planets migrated and asteroids were thrown around as a result. But now, NEOs follow predictable orbits. So even though there are tens ...

NASA has been building a new telescope called James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists help them search for signs of alien life! They can watch exoplanants (外行星) with the help of telescope.So far all the equipment we have found are too distant to send astronauts or spaceships. Researchers ...
NASA / ESA / A. Feild Jupiter-like planets grow from the bottom-up in a process calledcore accretion. First, a vast swarm of ice and rocks collide and stick together, forming a rocky embryo as massive as Earth. Then the embryo pulls gas from the protoplanetary disk onto itself until it...
“Thanks to TESS’s nearly all-sky coverage, measurements that could support a search for planets orbiting members of this stream were already available to us when the stream was identified,” said Jessie Christiansen, a co-author of the paper and the deputy science lead at t...
Its mission is to find planets outside our solar system. Wolf noticed a signal from planetary system TOI 1338. TOI stands for TESS Object of Interest. “I thought it was a stellar eclipse, but the timing was wrong,” he said, according to NASA. “It turned out to be a planet.” ...
