Astronomers discover heaviest element yet detected in an exoplanet atmosph
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): Astronomers have discovered the heaviest element ever found in an exoplanet atmosphere barium. They were surprised to discover barium at high altitudes in the atmospheres of the ultra-hot gas giants WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b two exoplanets, planets which orb

New evidence shows there's one more planet in the Universe
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Cambridge (Massachusetts) [US], September 15 (ANI): All astronomers concur that planets are created in protoplanetary discs, which are the bands of gas and dust that encircle newly formed, young stars. Even though the universe has hundreds of these discs, it has been challenging to observe g

Analysis finds evidence for many exoplanets made of water and rock around
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 11 (ANI): A new study suggests that many more planets may have large amounts of water than previously thought--as much as half water and half rock. The catch? All that water is probably embedded in the rock, rather than flowing as oceans or rivers on the surface.

Researchers discover how impact causes a new planet to 'break up'
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 19 (ANI): Impacts affect the porosity and structure of moons and planets more dramatically than scientists suspected, increasing their potential habitability for life. Studying how those impacts affect planetary bodies, asteroids, moons and other rocks in space helps
