A team of scientists is developing a "quantum-sensitive" device that could capture direct images of Earth-like exoplanets — something astronomers tend to consider so difficult it's nearly impossible.

Scientists harnessing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope took what appears to be the first-ever direct picture of an exoplanet resulting in its discovery, in yet another accomplishment for the mighty ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet using the direct-imaging technique. The host star's light was blocked using a coronagraph to reveal a planet to its right. The light at the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an exoplanet no one had seen before. This marks a turning point in space exploration and opens up a path to finding small, cold worlds far beyond our Solar ...

One of the main questions in exoplanet science concerns M dwarfs (red dwarfs) and the habitability of exoplanets that orbit ...

This image shows the exoplanet HIP 65426 b in different bands of infrared light, as seen from the James Webb Space Telescope: purple shows the NIRCam instrument’s view at 3.00 micrometers, blue shows ...

NASA has released its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of the exoplanet, described as a "gas giant." NASA ...

This is an artist's rendering of the YSES-1 system, which has two gas giant planets. See how the James Webb Space Telescope imaged them in infrared below. Webb usually observes exoplanets through ...

Three hundred and forty light years from Earth, there burns a triple star system lighting a planet unlike any other world we've ever seen. What might you see, if you could go there and look up at its ...
