Scientists from The University of New Mexico (UNM), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have detected and validated two of the longest-period exoplanets found by TESS to date. These long period large exoplanets orbit a K dwarf star and belong to a class of planets known as warm Jupiters, which have orbital periods of 10-200 days and are at least six times Earth's radius. This recent discovery offers exciting research opportunities for the future of finding long-period planets th...

Scientists believe the brightness of the star at the center of the system and its proximity to Earth could provide new insight into the planets and their atmospheres.

Scientists have discovered a solar system-like multiplanetary system just 33 light-years away from Earth using a NASA satellite.

Astronomers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a new multiplanet system within our galactic neighborhood that lies just 10 parsecs, or about 33 light-years, from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems to our own.At the heart

Just 33 light years from Earth, the system appears to host two rocky, Earth-sized planets.

MIT astronomers discovered a multiplanet system just 33 light-years from Earth, making it one of the closest known multiplanet systems. The system likely hosts at least two terrestrial, Earth-sized planets.

An international group of collaborators, including scientists from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory and The University of New Mexico, have discovered a new, temperate sub-Neptune sized exoplanet with a 24-day orbital period orbiting a nearby M dwarf star. The recent discovery offers exciting research opportunities thanks to the planets substantial atmosphere, small star, and how fast the system is moving away from the Earth.
