The supposed "strange signals" were not mysterious at all, but commonly observed transit signals, according to NASA.

NASA's TESS satellite identifies thousands of exoplanet candidates using the transit method, yet most detections are initial and necessitate extensive, resource-intensive follow-up observations for ...

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying about 40 payloads, including NASA's Pandora exoplanet satellite, is scheduled to lift off from ...

Scientists using a NASA space telescope have discovered a tantalizing world. It's about the size of Earth, sits remarkably close to our solar system, and could be comfortable for life as we know it.

When the first exoplanet was discovered in 1995, Sara Seager and Dave Charbonneau were graduate students at Harvard. Both were studying topics totally unrelated to planets orbiting distant stars. Yet ...

Universe Today reports on a new telescope proposal that could help astronomers detect Earth-sized exomoons, explaining current limits, future technology, and why moons around distant planets matter ...

To date, over 5,500 exoplanets — planets that orbit stars other than the sun — have been discovered, and a large portion of those alien worlds have been observed via something called "the transit ...

Astronomers hunt for planets orbiting other stars (exoplanets) using a variety of methods. One successful method is direct imaging; this is particularly effective for planets on wide orbits around ...
