Kepler-1658b, orbiting with a period of just 3.8 days, was the first exoplanet candidate discovered by the Kepler space telescope in 2009. In 2019, astrophysicist Ashley Chontos used sound waves ...

While looking at compiled data from NASA’s now-retired Kepler space telescope, astronomers have discovered the existence of a seven-planet system of sweltering planets larger than Earth but ...

The Kepler mission enabled the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, revealing a deep truth about our place in the cosmos: There are more planets than stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

Kepler-1658b was first identified in Kepler data in 2009, but it took a full decade before additional analysis officially confirmed its existence. Now it turns out the gigantic planet as massive ...

Astronomers discover a new strategy for detecting exoplanets: look for aligned binary stars that reveal hidden worlds more ...

The first planet ever spotted by the Kepler space telescope is falling into its star. Kepler launched in 2009 on a mission to find exoplanets by watching them cross in front of their stars.
