Astronomers studying the atmospheres of several intensely heated exoplanets uncovered an unexpected pattern that may reveal a ...

The winds on seven hellish alien worlds are moving in the wrong direction. That strange anomaly just cracked open one of exoplanet science's biggest mysteries.

Astronomers used winds on ultra-hot gas giant exoplanets to infer their magnetic fields' strength, finding them to be weaker than some expected. Credit: ESO / M. Kornmesser / L. Calçada illustration ...

In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a crucial new tool in the search ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

For every "Alien" or "Event Horizon," there are dozens of lesser-known space horror movies that deserve much more love and ...

This illustration shows magnetic activity in an exoplanet that is a gas giant like Jupiter but orbits very close to its host star and is tidally locked (European Southern Observatory) Astronomers have ...

Scientists propose a simple but powerful new method for detecting traces of alien biology, whether on Jupiter's icy moons, in ...

On May 22, 2026, the Pentagon released a second batch of previously classified photos and videos showing what appear to be unexplained flying objects. These file dumps were the culmination of a ...

Using the Keck Observatory, astronomers measured the spins of dozens of giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars. They found that giant planets can spin faster than much more massive ...

The history of immigration policy in Australia is full of yes-no contradictions: fear jostling with hope, exclusion with ...
