The discovery serves as proof that helium hydride can, in fact, exist in space, said the scientists in a paper published in the journal Nature.
The new world, known as K2-288Bb, could be rocky or could be a gas-rich planet similar to Neptune. Its size is rare among exoplanets -- planets beyond our solar system, according to the study published in the Astronomical Journal.
The X-Calibur instrument, launched by Washington University in the US from the McMurdo Station in Antarctica, is carried aloft on a helium balloon intended to reach an altitude of 130,000 feet.
The Kepler space telescope has had a profound impact on our understanding of the number of worlds that exist beyond our solar system.
Working in deep space for nine years, Kepler discovered planets from outside the solar system, many of which could be promising places for life.
Scientists have developed a new low-cost technology that allows telescopes on Earth to observe exoplanets with greater precision.
In a mysterious signals detected from the neighbouring Andromeda galaxy, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has spotted an unusual gesture that could indicate the presence of dark matter. The signal is similar to one seen
US space agency NASA’s Spitzer space telescope has detected unusual heartbeat-like pulsations in the outer shells of a star called HAT-P-2. A closely orbiting planet, called HAT-P-2b, might be causing these vibrations each time it
China is setting up the world's highest altitude gravitational wave telescopes in Tibet, close to Line of Actual Control with India, with a budget of USD 18.8 million to detect faintest echoes resonating from universe
A unique collaboration between NASA's Spitzer and Swift space telescopes have led to a discovery of a new brown dwarf - thought to be the missing link between planets and stars, with masses up
After more than 20 years of construction, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is complete and, following in-depth testing, the largest-ever space telescope is expected to launch within two years, NASA officials announced on Wednesday.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to set up a telescope on moon as a part of enhancing its scientific observation capacity, ISRO chairman A S Kiran Kumar said. Speaking to the students
Adding another feather to its cap, NASA researchers on board it's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) have detected the collapse of portions of six interstellar clouds on their way to becoming new stars much
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has found the first gamma-ray binary – the brightest one ever spotted – in another galaxy. The dual-star system, dubbed LMC P3, contains a massive star and a crushed
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has captured a new image of Pandora's Cluster, or Abell 2744, which will allow astronomers to study the distant universe. The Pandora’s Cluster is a giant galaxy cluster resulting from the
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has spotted water vapour plumes erupting off the surface on Jupiter's moon Europa, in a possible evidence of the existence of life there. Releasing new images captured from the Hubble
Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble space telescope have discovered a planet orbiting two stars in a system located about 8,000 light-years away towards the centre of our galaxy. The planet orbits roughly 300 million miles
Gigantic black holes have been spotted eating up everything including the stars present near them – something they are quite famous for. Black holes have a tremendous gravitational pull and obtain thermal energy equal to
NASA's Hubble space telescope has captured amazing images of the most detailed observation of a comet breaking apart 108 million kilometres from Earth. The images was taken over three days in January 2016, Hubble showed
