After a flawless launch, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is on a mission to solve some of the universe’s biggest mysteries

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will open a whole new window on the cosmos. Here are 10 things it’s likely to show us

NASA’s newest major observatory will include the most advanced planet-imaging tech ever flown in space. Here’s how it works

Claiming an exoplanet to be “Earth-like” is a trend that needs to bite the dust

This almost Jupiter-sized object is orbiting a brown dwarf, which, in turn, is circling around a small star

A cold, cherry-blossom-hued exoplanet supports bizarre clouds chock-full of salts

Planets might exist in the least likely place you’d imagine—around the outskirts of supermassive black holes
