Image shows an artist's conception of a rocky Earth-mass exoplanet like Wolf 1069 b orbiting a red dwarf star, undated photo. If the planet had retained its atmosphere, chances are high that it would feature liquid water and habitable conditions over a wide area of its dayside.

Astronomers Find Rare Rocky Earth-Mass Planet About 31 Light-Years Away Suited To Probe For Life

Astronomers have discovered a possibly habitable exoplanet only 31 light-years away from Earth. The international team of researchers led by Diana Kossakowski from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA),…

Researchers were able to directly image newly forming exoplanet AB Aurigae b over a 13-year span using Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and its Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrograph (NICMOS). In the top right, Hubble’s NICMOS image captured in 2007 shows AB Aurigae b in a due south position compared to its host star, which is covered by the instrument’s coronagraph. The image captured in 2021 by STIS shows the protoplanet has moved in a counterclockwise motion over time. (NASA, ESA, Thayne Currie (Subaru Telescope, Eureka Scientific Inc./Newsflash)

Hubble Finds Planet Almost 12,000 Times Bigger Than Earth Slowly Forming

A massive new planet, nine times the size of Jupiter, is being formed in an intense and violent process, as recorded by NASA’s Hubble space telescope, challenging understandings about planetary…
