Many of you consistently ask: If the Universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into?
Jun 11th: Direct Imaging Exoplanets In Our Telescopes
There are planets in orbit around stars outside our solar system – and even rogue planets. But finding them is very hard. They are small and dim. But ideally, we’d like to see them directly, in our telescopes. Is that possible?
May 14th: Life in the Dark: How Moons of Rogue Planets Could Harbor Life
In our galaxy, there are many planets that wander alone in the dark, without a star to orbit. Some of these rogue planets could have moons which remain in tow, and these moons could be more than just cold and barren rocks.

Jan 30th: An Exoplanet Found in Another Galaxy
Astronomers have found evidence of a possible planet outside of our Milky Way galaxy. If confirmed, this is the first time that a planet has been detected in another galaxy. It is located in the spiral galaxy Messier 51, also called the Whirlpool Galaxy.
Jan 23rd: The First Exoplanet of JWST
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected its first exoplanet. Its name is LHS 475b, and astronomers believe it is remarkably similar to our own home planet.
Dec 26th: Proxima-b: The Exoplanet Next Door
Proxima Centauri-b is the closest exoplanet to Earth and lies within the habitable zone of its star. And not only that, but it’s in the habitable zone!
Nov 14th: Exoplanets Are Everywhere
Did you know that the discovery of other planets in orbit around other stars is a very recent one? Only 25 years ago, we had no idea there were any planets in our galaxy besides those in our solar system. Now, not only have we discovered them, but astronomers estimate there are trillions of them. There are so many exoplanets out there that every star in our galaxy could have at least one.
Oct 24th: Kepler-22b: An Exoplanet With a Lot of Promise
Kepler-22b is one of the first exoplanets confirmed by the Kepler Space Telescope that resides in the habitable zone.
