Sep 3, 2016Pioneering research could shed new light on the complex atmospheres of planets which orbit stars outside our own solar system. -
Aug 18, 2016New research shows that the rocky exoplanet GJ 1132b might possess a thin, oxygen atmosphere - but no life due to its extreme heat. -
Aug 15, 2016New work found that the atmospheric properties of brown dwarfs may be behind much of their differences, a discovery that may apply to exoplanets as well. -
Aug 13, 2016Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history. -
Jul 21, 2016NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has made the first spectroscopic measurements of two Earth-sized exoplanets just 40 light-years away. -
Jun 21, 2016Venus has an “electric wind” strong enough to remove the components of water from its upper atmosphere, according to new results. -
Jun 8, 2016Scientists found that a group of hot Jupiters observed with Hubble may have about half their atmospheres blocked by clouds or haze. -
May 31, 2016Researchers combine climate, orbit models to show that Kepler-62f might be able to sustain life. -
Apr 18, 2016Scientists on NASA’s New Horizons mission team are learning more about the structure and behavior of Pluto’s complex atmosphere by discovering new attributes of its extensive haze layers. -
Apr 11, 2016Astrophysicists have used data from the NASA Kepler space telescope to discover a class of extrasolar planets whose atmospheres have been stripped away by their host stars.
