Although the middle of summer cannot boast of many high-profile game releases, July has some interesting projects in store: ...

What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a recently submitted study hopes to address as an international ...

What can Earth-sized exoplanets teach scientists about the formation and evolution of exoplanets throughout the cosmos? This is what a study recently posted to the arXiv preprint server hopes to ...

Astronomers have been trying to detect atmospheres on planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1, but bursts of radiation from the star make this challenging ...

A U.S. scientist searching for a techno-civilization across 7 Earth clones circling the dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 says its own alien astronomers could also be scanning Earth.

Trappist-1 b is a vivid example of how difficult it currently is to detect and determine the atmospheres of rocky planets -- even for the JWST. They are thin compared to gas planets and produce ...

Recent measurements with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) cast doubt on the current understanding of the exoplanet Trappist-1 b’s nature. Until now, it was assumed to be a dark rocky planet ...

New TRAPPIST-1 observations with JWST underscore the complexities of confirming a planet's atmosphere using only broadband thermal emission data. This insight takes on added significance with the ...

In the TRAPPIST-1 system, this likely had the effect of pushing planet e back, until the inner and outer parts of the planetary system settled into the configuration that they are in today.

Scientists have uncovered a new method to detecting alien life on distant planets. The team also found that NASA's James Webb ...

Scientists revealed TRAPPIST-1 in 2017, several years before the Webb Telescope was launched. It didn't take long for astronomers to cite TRAPPIST-1 as a prime target for future Webb observations.
