In 2016, Chile's TRAPPIST telescope revealed two rocky planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, starting a major astronomical discovery.

The updated inventory of 4,400 potential exoplanets reveals a distinctive planetary system, suggesting multi-planet systems have more circular orbits. Keplers legacy data continues to enhance our understanding of the galaxys planetary systems.

James Webb Space Telescope observations of a promising exoplanet in the TRAPPIST-1 star system just produced a lot of science, but no evidence for an atmosphere.

Six years ago, on February 22, 2017, NASA announced that astronomers using the Spitzer Space Telescope had discovered the

Is TRAPPIST-1 a mirror or a mirage? Could it contain Earth-like planets — and possibly life — or does its passing resemblance to the solar system hide alien planets with inhospitable conditions? C

Aquarius is a constellation in the Western Zodiac that is best viewed in the fall. The constellation is one of the oldest constellations documented in the historical record.

NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star

By Quamrul Haider Modern astronomy is a trip of the human intellect through two inseparable abstract entities: space and time. It is also a “history of receding horizons,” as noted by famous American astronomer Edwin Hubble. Indeed, the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has expanded the horizon by piercing through the hitherto “dark […]

The James Webb Space Telescope, launched into space in December 2021, has already started peering as a matter of priority at the most tantalising candidates for life elsewhere in the universe – seven rocky, Earth-sized planets orbiting about an ultra-cool red dwarf star known as TRAPPIST-1.

From ‘cosmic dawn’ to finding ‘Earth 2.0’ the world’s most advanced space observatory is going to have a busy first year.
