It’s the ultimate game of find a needle in the haystack. One NASA scientist is betting on AI to help expedite the search ...

Each of the seven blisteringly hot extra-solar planets — or "exoplanets" — in the system Kepler-385 received more radiation from the sun-like star they orbit than any planet in the ...

In so doing, it was known that Kepler would find numerous other planets much larger than Earth and would greatly increase our knowledge of extrasolar system composition and exoplanet frequency.

Astronomers have discovered a hidden feature in exoplanet distribution that could explain the absence of so-called ...

Luke Skywalker would feel right at home on Kepler-16b. This exoplanet is the first known circumbinary planet — a planet that orbits two stars at the same time, just like Tatooine from the Star ...

The first planetary system discovered was nothing like our own. It was more like a zombie solar system. Appropriately named ...

Since its launch in 2009, NASA's Kepler mission has used the transit method to confirm more than 60 new exoplanets and to identify 2,300 candidate planets now awaiting confirmation via further ...

The machine learning technique was also used to find a new Earth-sized planet, called Kepler 80g, around a different star. Some 3,500 exoplanets - worlds circling other stars - have been ...

In the journal Nature Astronomy, astronomers announced that the two exoplanets — Kepler-138 c and Kepler-138 d — could be made up of mostly water. But how did they figure that out, when the ...

A steam-shrouded planet unlike any we’ve seen before has been detected nearly 100 light years away. The planet, known as GJ ...

Scientists have discovered 301 new exoplanets with the help of a new deep neural network program. ExoMiner was trained and fed with data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft to identify new exoplanets.
