Stories about: exoplanet  

A year on Kepler-421b lasts longer than any other one thus far documented on an exoplanet

At its equator, the planet rotates at 25 kilometers per second (15.5 miles per second)

One of the planets is pulling the other two in strange directions

The planet is basically skimming on the surface of its star

The method depends on the distortion of space by gravity

The planet is affected by the high stellar activity

Gliese 1214b is largely made up of water, several observations have found

New studies indicate that the giant exoplanet has a peculiar makeup

The exoplanet is extremely close to its parent star

Dense gas clouds may lead to the formation of gas giants without any star around

Very few exoplanets have actually been seen by telescopes

The telescope has experienced several malfunctions

Astronomers now believe there are up to seven planets around the star

Astronomers believe they have found the most distant planet, and it's a strange one

Astronomers will be looking for exoplanets around the nearest star to the sun

Very few extrasolar planets have been imaged so far

The new method makes it possible to find even more planets using already available data
