The trans-Neptunian object Altjira, 44 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, could be the second known trinary, confirming a theory about the formation of our solar system.

A bold geochemical model reveals that TOI‑270 d, a sub‑Neptune 73 light‑years away, is likely a giant rocky world cloaked in ...

A new study led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has decoded the puzzling atmosphere of TOI-270 d, a distant exoplanet located just 73 light-years from Earth, revealing it to be a ...

Explore the groundbreaking discovery of extraterrestrial life signs on exoplanet K2-18 b with chemical evidence from NASA.

The rotating model, which does not break any known law of physics, suggests the universe could spin around once every 500 billion years. This would be far too slowly to detect easily, but enough to ...

A new study modeled the chemistry of TOI-270 d, an exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it could be a giant rocky planet shrouded in a thick, hot atmosphere. TOI-270 d is ...
