NASA discovered around exoplanets similar to the prominent planets of Star Wars.
Researchers with the University of Warwick have detailed the discovery of a new planet called HAT-P-7b, an exoplanet that experiences violent storms. New discovery shows that the exoplanet's atmosphere may contain rubies and sapphires.
So far, NASA's Kepler space telescope has helped astronomers discover thousands of exoplanets. But the two newly discovered exoplanets are nothing like anything discovered before - they are just a few million years old and can be comfortably regarded as "planetary infants."
There is an exoplanet that spins around its sun at an enormous speed and takes only 11 hours to complete an orbit. Unfortunately, the same exoplanet is being killed by its own host star.
NASA's new discovery of 1,284 planets is more than double the number of confirmed planets found through the Kepler telescope.
Scientists believe that advanced civilizations may have existed in past eras.
NASA's Kepler space telescope is declared to be in Emergency Mode on Thursday, say mission scientists.
NASA has announced an unprecedented effort to try and discover life in the far reaches of space outside of our own solar system.
Astronomers have found eight planets in the 'Goldilocks zone' in which life could possibly exist.
