Earth" that is located about 154 light-years away and is nearly twice as big and four times as massive as our planet.

A theory by Albert Einstein has helped astronomers discover a rare exoplanet, sparking new ideas of where they can be found.

For radial velocity, we look for red- or blue-shifts in the light received from the star, caused by a planet tugging the star in different directions as it orbits. Obviously, ...

For the first application of the new method, Chae used about 300 wide binaries with relatively precise radial velocities selected from the European Space Agency's Gaia data release 3.

Binary stars can’t survive long near the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole — but for the first time, astronomers have managed to spot one.
