Astronomers have made a remarkable discovery in the Kepler-139 star system, uncovering an alien planet that had previously evaded detection. The newly identified exoplanet, Kepler-139f, is a giant ...

NASA has announced the discovery of 1,284 new planets using the Kepler telescope, more than doubling the number of known exoplanets discovered using the planet-hunting space telescope.

The inner planet, Kepler-385 b, has a mass around 12.8 times greater than Earth's and is 2.7 times as wide as our planet.

The team's three-planet model predicted that Kepler-51d would transit around 2 a.m. EDT in June 2023, and the researchers prepared to observe the event with both JWST and APO.

Kepler-725c's mass is quite significant — 10 times greater than the mass of Earth. This places it in the upper echelons of a type of planet called super-Earths — giant, probably rocky worlds.

Kepler-22b, initially glimpsed in 2009, is the first-ever planet in a habitable zone outside our solar system NASA has been able to confirm ...

The planet, dubbed Kepler-1649c, is a rocky world that’s six per cent larger than Earth, according to findings published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters earlier this month.
