James Webb peered into the atmosphere of what was thought to be a Venus-like planet, and saw something unexpected.

The puffy, scorching-hot planet has elements in its atmosphere that would normally form rocks, but are so hot that they have vaporized.

Astronomers recently discovered a planet which orbits two stars, meaning it would have two suns in its sky like Tatooine.

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized planet that is highly volcanically active, which means it could possibly support life.

Located 50 light-years away, the planet GJ 1214 b has defied 15 years of attempted observations due to its hazy nature.

Using data from the Voyager mission, researchers found that four of Uranus's moons likely have liquid water oceans beneath icy crusts.

Water vapor was spotted near the rocky exoplanet GJ 486 b. That could indicate the presence of water in its atmosphere, or it could also be from another source.

Following up on its image of Neptune released last year, astronomers using Webb have just released a brand-new image of Uranus as you've never seen it before.

NASA is back with its monthly update of fun stuff to spot in the sky over the coming weeks — and April offers plenty to enjoy.
