The hunt is on for terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones, and some of the most promising candidates were discovered almost a decade ago about 40 light-years from Earth. The TRAPPIST-1 system ...

Research into exoplanetary systems and stellar dynamics has reached an exciting juncture, where advances in observational techniques and theoretical models are converging to elucidate the formation, ...

Some stars (like our sun) prefer to live alone, while many others tend to live in pairs. Then, there are “vampire stars.” Unlike more well-behaved and stable cosmic pairs, these stars instead siphon ...

Pandora’s spacecraft bus was photographed Jan. 10 within a thermal-vacuum testing chamber at Blue Canyon Technologies in Lafayette, Colorado. The bus provides the structure, power, and other systems ...

The most massive, hottest stars in the Universe are not as hot as we thought, according to new research by NASA-sponsored astronomers. The result was obtained by comparing a sophisticated new model of ...
