The most elusive planetary aurora in the Solar System has finally been revealed in all its gently glowing glory. Far from the Sun, and Earth, the sky-blue planet Neptune has been captured shimmering ...

New NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of the distant planet Neptune show a dynamic atmosphere and capture the fleeting orbits of its satellites. The images have been assembled into a time-lapse movie ...

The Webb Space Telescope has given us our first glimpse of Neptune glowing with bright auroras, a visually stunning phenomenon that has long evaded scientists studying the ice giant. Using Webb’s near ...

A team led by an astronomer from the University of Kansas has crunched data from NASA’s TESS and Spitzer space telescopes to portray for the first time the atmosphere of a highly unusual kind of ...

Unlike the James Webb Space Telescope's views of other sub-Neptune exoplanets' atmospheres, its look at TOI-421 b was clear. Credit: NASA / ESA / CSA / Dani Player illustration A sweltering planet ...

The photo at left is an enhanced-color image of Neptune from the Hubble Space Telescope. At the right, that image is combined with one from the James Webb Space Telescope that shows greenish splotches ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured the first images of Neptune's auroras. But Webb's observations didn't just provide new pretty pictures of the ice giant planet's greenish-blue splotches. It ...

Despite being part of our own solar system, Neptune has long been a cosmic mystery. It's the most distant planet from the Sun and also one of the least explored. Only one spacecraft—Voyager 2—has ever ...

There aren't a lot of Hot Neptunes in the galaxy, and it's not entirely clear why. A Hot Neptune is, as the name implies, a Neptune-sized planet orbiting within 1 AU of its host star. While we've ...

A new study modeled the chemistry of TOI-270 d, an exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it could be a giant rocky planet shrouded in a thick, hot atmosphere. TOI-270 d is ...
