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.

Using direct imaging, astronomers have found a brown dwarf that could help test technology for taking snapshots of Earthlike ...

To test this idea, the new study looks at an exoplanet known as VHS 1256b. It has a mass of around 20 Jupiters and is one of ...

Analysis of early direct images from James Webb telescope show immense dust clouds on brown dwarf that lead to a blurring of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) directly imaged exoplanet TWA 7 b for the first time. A special coronagraph blocked the star's light, allowing the exoplanet to be seen. TWA 7 b is surprisingly ...

After cataloging thousands of worlds beyond our solar system, astronomers are now closing in on a far rarer prize: a moon ...

Many planets featured in Star Trek TNG share traits that scientists now look for when identifying exoplanets: rocky terrain, ...

To answer significant questions about planetary systems, such as whether our solar system is a rare phenomenon or if life exists on planets other than Earth, NASA should lead a large direct imaging ...

Astronomers using the GRAVITY instrument at the VLT telescopes in Chile have now obtained the first direct confirmation of an exoplanet discovered by radial velocity. As the planet “Beta Pictoris c” ...
