As NASA rolls out more powerful telescopes in the future, scientists will need a way to determine where to point them. A new approach could help.

Led by Assistant Professor Richard Teague, a team of international astronomers has released a collection of papers and public data furthering our understanding of planet formation.

An expert shares why the atmospheres of distant worlds may hold the key to one of humanity’s oldest questions: Are we alone in the universe?

The recent detection of a gas in a distant plant has been linked to life forms has sparked debate among scientists.

The exoplanet K2-18b could harbor a massive ocean, but scientists will need to study the planet more to see if it’s really likely to host life.

It’s the best result yet - but the evidence still isn’t strong enough to convince the scientific community.

"If future observations confirm our predictions, it could completely change our understanding of how planets form..."

Researchers have identified a promising new way to detect alien life on faraway planets.

The small worlds were particularly challenging to discover.

An international team of astrophysicists has imaged a large number of exocomet belts around nearby stars, and the tiny pebbles within them.
