Learn more about brown dwarfs, the cosmic misfits that blur the line between planet and star.

A red dwarf star, TRAPPIST-1, close to us at 40 light-years, produces powerful flares several times a day. And yet, it hosts seven Earth-sized planets, three of which are located in the zone ...

Researchers studied the data closely and suggested a few possible ideas about the planet’s atmosphere and surface.

An international team of astronomers from the GEMS (Giant Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars) survey has detected a massive exoplanet, TOI-6383Ab, in a binary star system. The system, located 560 ...

Only 100 light years away from us, a small exoplanet with blue skies has been found orbiting a red dwarf star. The team of US astronomers used the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network ...

Astronomers have pinpointed the source of slow, repeating radio bursts from space to a red dwarf star likely orbiting a white dwarf. These unusual signals, discovered in 2022, challenge existing ...

Astronomers have identified an Earth-size exoplanet orbiting an ultracool red dwarf star, roughly 55 light-years from Earth. The star, similar in size to Jupiter, is 100 times less bright and half as ...

For all the talk about life across the cosmos, Earth remains the only confirmed example. That single data point makes your place in the universe feel both ordinary and strange. Two facts sharpen the ...

The seven rocky planets orbiting the the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 have remarkably similar densities, which provides clues about their composition. Located about 40 light-years away, TRAPPIST-1 is ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby ...

Astronomers have discovered a new super-earth in the habitable zone around the red dwarf star Gliese 163. The exoplanet ‘Gliese 163c’ has a mass of 6.9 times that of Earth and an orbital period of 26 ...
