WASP-121b is a gas giant extrasolar planet that rotates eerily close to its host star and has two helium tails. This happens because of a process that has been observed for the longest time, only now.

'Ultrahot Jupiter' 858 light-years away has two tails extending millions of kilometres — What are they?

A world with no sun, spinning fast just 20 light-years away, hides wild weather and glowing lights unlike anything we've seen before. NASA’s new discovery reveals hints of storms and secrets waiting to be uncovered -  Know what mysteries does this strange planet hold.

'Just 20 light-years away': NASA’s James Webb Telescope detects weather systems on 200-million-year-old exoplanet

Located 63 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula, it appeared almost inviting. The truth, however, is that HD 189733b is among the most deadly worlds ever identified.

Kepler-139 f is a Neptune-like exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. The mass of this planet is 36 times that of Earth, which takes 355 days to complete one orbit of its star. It was discovered by NASA scientists in 2025.

TOI-1846 b is estimated to be around 7.2 billion years old and is located about 154 light-years away from our planet and has been discovered by a team of astronomers using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Scientists use NASA's TESS to discover ‘super-earth’ that could host billions—Is TOI-1846 b humanity's next home?

Astronomers have shared new direct images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems. These were obtained using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), offering updated observations of exoplanets in environments difficult to capture from Earth.

WASP-121b is classified as an ultra-hot Jupiter, a gas giant that orbits very close to its host star. A single year on this planet lasts just 30 Earth hours, meaning time moves roughly 10 times faster compared to Earth. Due to tidal locking, one side of the planet remains in constant daylight, while the other side remains in darkness.
