The newfound exoplanet, called Kepler-139f, is a gigantic world roughly twice the mass of Neptune and 35 times the mass of ...

The search for extraterrestrial life is one of the most exciting frontiers of modern science. Thanks to recent discoveries of exoplanets like Gliese 581 g, Kepler-22 b, Kepler-186 f, and Kepler-452 b, ...

It's called Kepler 22-b and is circling a star similar to our Sun about 600 light years away. The planet is about twice the size of Earth, with a temperature of around 22C.

The Kepler telescope, which was designed to search for planets like those found in the Kepler-385 system, stopped its primary observations in 2013, and conducted an extended mission until 2018.

The team's three-planet model predicted that Kepler-51d would transit around 2 a.m. EDT in June 2023, and the researchers prepared to observe the event with both JWST and APO.

Illustration of the Kepler-51 system and its inner three planets, which have unusually low density. New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope suggest that at least one more planet 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 ...

The Kepler-69 planets’ host star belongs to the same class as our sun, called G-type. It is 93 percent the size of the sun and 80 percent as luminous and is located approximately 2,700 light ...
