A team working with data from the dearly departed Kepler space telescope has reported a possible moon orbiting an exoplanet some 5,000 light years away. It falls somewhere between the size of Earth ...

Astronomers say they have spotted, for the first time, what appears to be the exposed core of a gas giant planet that has shed -- or never found -- its gaseous atmosphere. A team lead by the ...

For the first time, astronomers have discovered what could be an exomoon, a moon outside our solar system. The so-called exomoon, which is estimated to be the size of Neptune, was found in orbit ...

Although the exoplanet TOI-1853 b is roughly the size of Neptune, its mass is almost twice that of any other known planet of comparable size. For this reason, TOI-1853 b should not exist, at least ...

A new study has proposed the existence of Planet Y, an alternative Planet Nine candidate that is smaller and closer to Earth ...

A Neptune-sized planet closely orbiting its host star has just been discovered, making it only the fourth object of its kind ever identified. Scientists detected the planet, designated TOI-3261 b, ...

"What we found is that right around the size of Neptune, planets go from being almost always on circular orbits to very often having elliptical orbits," said UCLA postdoctoral researcher Gregory ...

Artist’s concept of a Neptune-sized planet, left, around a blue, A-type star. UC Berkeley astronomers have discovered a hard-to-find gas giant around one of these bright, but short-lived, stars, right ...

SAN ANTONIO - Like a giant croquet ball, a massive planet the size of Neptune or Uranus may have been knocked by Jupiter out of the solar system into deep space millions of years ago, scientists at ...
