Super-Earths may be more resistant than previously thought to cosmic radiation
By studying the behavior of iron under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions that prevail in the cores of super-Earth type exoplanets, a team of American researchers has shown that…
Three other worlds where it is possible to observe zodiacal lights
On Kepler-1229b – just like on Kepler-395c – the researchers imagine zodiacal lights with glowing hues, the color of its host star. On Kepler-69c, by contrast, a Venus-like planet, the…
An atypical exoplanet in the shape of a rugby ball: unheard of!
As part of ESA’s Cheops mission, an exoplanet twice the size of Jupiter has been detected orbiting extremely close to its star. Result, a tidal effect such that the planet,…
A second exomoon discovered in another solar system
A team of astronomers believe they have unearthed a supermoon orbiting an exoplanet the size of Jupiter, in a star system located more than 5,000 light years from ours. If…
Super-Earths resist cosmic radiation better than previously thought
By studying the behavior of iron under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions that prevail in the cores of super-Earth type exoplanets, a team of American researchers has shown that…

A second super moon discovered outside our Solar System?
A team of astronomers believe they have unearthed a superlune orbiting an exoplanet the size of Jupiter, in a star system located more than 5,000 light years from ours. If…

First detection of an exoplanet which is not spherical!
As part of ESA’s Cheops mission, an exoplanet twice the size of Jupiter has been detected orbiting extremely close to its star. Result, a tidal effect such that the planet,…
The first magnetic field of an exoplanet discovered thanks to Hubble
First evidence of a magnetic field produced by an exoplanet, with the help of Hubble. When is the first detection around an exoterre? You will also be interested [EN VIDÉO]…
