- Exploring Exoplanets | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
An overview of exoplanet missions and research at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Exoplanets and the Search for Habitable Worlds – Teachable Moment . . .
Scientists have discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting another star much like our sun But how do they know if no spacecraft or human has ever been there?
- NASA’s Spitzer Illuminates Exoplanets in Astronomical Society Briefing
The infrared observatory may help answer questions about planets outside our solar system, or exoplanets, including how they form and what drives weather in their atmospheres
- NASA Puts Next-Gen Exoplanet-Imaging Technology to the Test
A cutting-edge tool to view planets outside our solar system has passed two key tests ahead of its launch as part of the agency’s Roman Space Telescope by 2027
- NASA’s Webb Maps Weather on Planet 280 Light-Years Away
Webb’s MIRI instrument, managed through launch by JPL, has illuminated conditions on a planet that’s Jupiter-size but closer to its star than Mercury is to the Sun
- NASA’s Webb Hints at Possible Atmosphere Surrounding Rocky Exoplanet
While the planet is too hot to be habitable, detecting its atmosphere could provide insights into the early conditions of Earth, Venus, and Mars
- NASA Tool Gets Ready to Image Faraway Planets
At its maximum capability, it could image an exoplanet similar to Jupiter around a star like our Sun: a large, cool planet just outside the star’s habitable zone What NASA learns from the Roman Coronagraph will help blaze a path for future missions designed to directly image Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars
- Seeing Exoplanets Like Never Before With the Roman Coronagraph . . .
NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a flagship astrophysics mission, will launch with a very special piece of technology on board that will directly observe exoplanets like never before: the Roman Coronagraph Instrument
