Data from the Kepler project has confirmed a new world that fulfills the telescope's goal of locating Earth-sized planets ...

Learn how to solve and verify Kepler’s Third Law for circular orbits. This video walks through the physics and mathematics connecting orbital period, radius, and gravitational force, showing how ...

A huge "super-Earth" with an extreme climate that results in it being habitable for only part of its orbit has been discovered orbiting a star 2,472 light years away. And the most remarkable thing is, ...

NASA's Kepler mission ended in 2018 after more than nine years of fruitful planet-hunting. The space telescope discovered thousands of planets, many of which bear its name. But it also generated an ...

Exoplanet Kepler 413-b orbits a close pair of orange and red dwarf stars once every 66 days. Not only does the planet's axis wobble like crazy, its orbit about the stars wobbles too. Credit: NASA, ESA ...

PASADENA, Calif. — NASA’s Kepler mission has discovered two new planetary systems that include three super-Earth-size planets in the “habitable zone,” the range of distance from a star where the ...

NASA has discovered a new super-Earth that has a year only lasting a few hours. The exoplanet K2-141b, was found very close to its orange sun-like star, and has an orbital period of less than one ...

Scientists analyzing four years of data from NASA’s Kepler mission have released a new catalog of exoplanet candidates. The catalog adds more than 500 new possible planets to the 4,175 already found ...

This image from the paper is a visual representation of the planets in their abbreviated catalogue, showing planets by size and stellar temperature. Credit: arXiv (2023). DOI: ...
