This illustration shows two Earth-sized worlds passing in front of their parent red dwarf star, which is much smaller and cooler than our sun. The planets, TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, reside 40 light-years away. Helix Nebula, Study Of Earth, Alien Worlds, Hubble Space Telescope, Space Nasa, New Earth, Our Solar System, Deep Space

Potentiellement habitable et considérée comme la plus ancienne planète connue, la superterre Kapteyn b (ici dans un dessin d'artiste) est en orbite autour de la naine rouge Kapteyn. L'étoile Omega du Centaure occupe l’arrière-plan. Les instruments de la nouvelle génération permettront d'étudier les atmosphères de telles exoplanètes pour y déceler des molécules liées à la vie telle que nous la connaissons. Mais la quantité de données à analyser sera énorme. © PHL, UPR Arecibo, Aladin Sky Atla...

An imagined view from the surface of one of the three newfound TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets. The planets have sizes and temperatures similar to those of Venus and Earth, making them attractive scientific targets in the search for potentially habitable planets beyond our solar system. (ESO/M.

Infographic displaying a breakdown of the winning names and brief descriptions of the chosen names. As announced on 15 December 2015, names for 31 exoplanets and 14 host stars, voted for by the public, were accepted and are to be officially sanctioned by the IAU. The winning names are to be used freely in parallel with the existing scientific nomenclature, with due credit to the clubs or organisations that proposed them.

Artist’s impression of the evaporation of an exoplanet’s atmosphere. A recent study has found that fast-rotating stars may be better at evaporating large hydrogen protoatmospheres that can form around terrestrial planets. [NASA, ESA, L.

This illustration shows a star behind a shattered comet. Observations of the star KIC 8462852 by NASA's Kepler and Spitzer space telescopes suggest that its unusual light signals are likely from dusty comet fragments, which blocked the light of the star as they passed in front of it in 2011 and 2013. The comets are thought to be traveling around the star in a very long, eccentric orbit. Spitzer Space Telescope, Hubble Space, Stephen Hawking, Milky Way, Outer Space
