Clouds, hellish temperatures, endless nights? Characterizing the atmosphere of exoplanets, planets that orbit stars other than the sun, is a formidable task.
Academic rigour, journalistic flair

JSWT may be able to discover signs of life on planets around other stars.
Most of what we know about planets outside our Solar System relates to gas-giant planets. A new study has identified and characterised a smaller exoplanet.
AI loves to cheat, but new research shows it doesn’t do so when analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets.
On the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-76b, metal is vaporized in the heat. Studying the atmosphere of extreme planets will reveal more wild and weird weather.
Astronomers hunting extraterrestrials were excited to discover an intriguing signal, but closer inspection has revealed it wasn’t aliens.
In 5 billion years the Sun will collapse. A new discovery suggest some planets may still survive afterwards.
For the first time ever, astronomers have astrophysical evidence that Jupiter and many other planets will survive the death of the Sun.
Scientists have a good estimate on the staggering number of stars in the universe.
The largest orbital telescope ever made will allow astronomers to study the atmospheres of alien planets, learn about how stars form in the Milky Way and peer into the farthest reaches of the universe.
By studying the chemical makeup of binary stars, astronomers found many planetary systems are far less peaceful than ours.
Can the Galileo Project find alien technology?
Billions of galaxies are in the universe, with billions of stars in every galaxy. Could billions of planets be out there too?
Weather on other planets and moons can be much more extreme than on Earth.
Astronomers just measured the largest flare ever from Proxima Centauri, humanity’s closest neighboring star. These flares could be bad news for life trying to develop on a planet orbiting the star.
Publicly available data and collaborations between scientists have led to the discovery of a planet in a triple-star system.
The hottest exoplanet known so far has metals in its atmosphere – something scientists thought would be impossible.
This discovery will shape the hunt for life on exoplanets.
The robots are ‘born’ via 3D printer, and recycle themselves upon their ‘death’.
I simulated the climate on 100,000 exoplanets to find out.
