Study suggests Earth-like exoplanets may be common, based on microlensing data revealing super-Earths with distant orbits.

Astronomers have spotted a distant planet shedding matter with each orbit around its host star, generating a comet-like tail ...

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph—an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source—that could make it ...

Scientists have discovered an exoplanet 140 light-years away that's rapidly disintegrating as it orbits its star every 30 ...

In this case, microlensing signals were used to locate OGLE-2016-BLG-0007, a super-Earth ... to divide exoplanets into two groups, one that consists of super-Earths and Neptune-like planets ...
