A distant gas giant the size of 10 Jupiters is now the first planet outside Earth's solar system to be mapped in three ...

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.

Scientists use James Webb Space Telescope to make 1st 3D map of exoplanet — and it's so hot, it rips apart water ...

“If you build a map at a wavelength that water absorbs, you’ll see the water deck in the atmosphere, whereas a wavelength ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has traveled farther than any spacecraft in human history. After more than four decades of silent endurance through space, it now sails beyond the orbit of the outer ...

The gas giant WASP-18b belongs to a class known as ultra-hot Jupiters — giant, searing, gaseous planets that orbit perilously close to their stars. Researchers used a new technique called ...

A team from the University of Maryland and Cornell University developed the first three-dimensional temperature map of ...

LONDON — The search for an unknown planet in our solar system has inspired astronomers for more than a century. Now, a recent study suggests a potential new candidate, which the paper's authors have ...
