Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.

An exoplanet 60 light-years away from Earth, known as 14 Herculis c, is thought to be the coldest one yet found, researchers claim in a new study.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. Our guest is Dr Jeni Millard, a science presenter, astrophysicist and astronomer. First, how ...

Chinese and German scientists have utilized the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique to locate an exoplanet super-Earth for the first time, validating a new tool that significantly broadens the ...

The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, or TTVs for short. Let's set the scene.

As astronomers study an exoplanet called K2-18b, conflicting research reveals how difficult it is to find evidence of life beyond Earth.

Planets beyond our solar system are called exoplanets. The one orbiting TOI-6894 is a gas giant, like Saturn and Jupiter in our solar system, rather than a rocky planet like Earth. A planetary parade.

Scientists have unlocked one of the solar system's many secrets from an unexpected source: a planetarium show. At the American Museum of Natural History last fall, experts were hard at work ...

Statistical work has shown that only about 1.5% of red dwarfs harbor gas giant planets, so TOI-6894 is among a rare breed indeed. And it is by far the least massive star to be found with an ...

The TOI-6894 system is located approximately 73 parsecs (238 light-years) away in the constellation of Leo. The planet has been discovered as part of a large-scale investigation of data from NASA’s ...
