In Depth - NASA Science
In 2018 the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched as a successor to Kepler to discover exoplanets in orbit around the brightest dwarf stars, the most common star type in our galaxy. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and the future Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope hold great promise for what we can learn from exoplanets. Through spectroscopy, reading light signatures for information, astronomers hope to learn more about planet atmospheres and the conditions of the planets themselves.The Milky Way, our own galaxy, stretches across the sky above the La Silla Observatory in Chile. Hidden inside our own galaxy are trillions of planets, most waiting to be found.ESO/S. BrunierConfirmed vs. CandidateAn exoplanet candidate is a likely planet discovered by a telescope but has not yet been proven to actually exist.It is possible for some candidates to turn out to be "false positives." A planet is considered "confirmed" once it is verified through additional observation using two other telescopes. There are currently thousands of planet candidates awaiting confirmation. But time on telescopes is considered a precious resource and it takes a lot of computing time to find which targets to investigate. This is one area where amateur scientists can work with NASA data to help refine targets and even discover exoplanets. Where computers might miss a single transit, humans can detect small brightness dips in data that might tell us there is a planet to be found.How Do We Name Exoplanets?Exoplanet names can look long and complicated at first, especially when compared to names like Venus and Mars. However, there is a logic behind their naming system that is important to how scientists catalog thousands of planets. Astronomers differentiate between the alphanumeric "designations" and alphabetical "proper names." All stars and exoplanets have designations, but very few have proper names.The first part of an exoplanet name is usually the telescope or survey that discovered it. The number is the order in which the star was cataloged by position. The lowercase letter stands for the planet, in the order in which the planet was found. The first planet found is always named b, with ensuing planets named c, d, e, f and so on.
Eyes - NASA Science
It is estimated that there is at least one planet for every star in the galaxy, so there are a huge number to discover. Explore over 5,500 confirmed exoplanet systems in this 3D interactive simulation.  You can visit every exoplanet ever discovered and ride along with the spacecraft that found them. The app is constantly updated for the latest discoveries, and you can visit any system, compare it to our solar system, and see if any of the planets reside in the "habitable zone", indicating a possibility of life. Browse by planet type, detection method, or observatory, or see just the discoveries made by the Kepler and TESS missions. You can land on Earth and see a map of all the known exoplanets from your hometown. Explore ExoplanetsDSN Now (Deep Space Network)See which spacecraft is “phoning home” with DSN Now. Every five seconds, DSN Now updates with real-time data from the ground stations of the Deep Space Network.

The NOAA-20 satellite captured this image of the glow of the Aurora Borealis over the U.S. and Canada. This image is color enhanced, with illuminated areas shown in yellow even though the light was not necessarily yellow-colored. Cloudy areas are shown in blue, and the diagonal line breaks in the image are from different passes of the satellite.Visualize this event in EyesFeatured Earth eventVisualize the latest Earth events in EyesVisualize Past Earth eventsSevere Flooding in BrazilMay 9th, 2024.

Why We Search - NASA Science
The slices missing from the light spectrum tell us which ingredients are present in the alien atmosphere. One pattern of black gaps might indicate methane, another, oxygen. Seeing those together could be a strong argument for the presence of life. Or we might read a barcode that shows the burning of hydrocarbons; in other words, smog.Light from exoplanets, if passed through a prism, can be spread out into a rainbow of colors called a spectrum. Different colors correspond to different wavelengths of light. Missing colors show up as black lines, indicating specific gases are present, because each gas absorbs light in a specific wavelength (or color).Finding another blue and white marbleFor a world to have life as we know it, we understand that it would need liquid water on the surface, however, it might not look anything like Earth.The planet would most likely exist in the “habitable zone” of the star it orbits, where it is neither too close nor too far from its star. Also called the Goldilock’s zone, this is the area around a star in which liquid water could exist on planets over geological timescales and where its atmosphere could contain the right balance of gases that could support life.Partners in the search for lifeNASA scientists hunting for life beyond Earth form a broad coalition: those investigating our solar system, ancient or extreme life forms on Earth, and even our Sun. Signs of life might be found on Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa or Saturn's moon Enceladus, and potential future missions are in the conceptual or planning stages. Better understanding of early Earth life, or even living "extremophiles," could inform our attempts to detect life beyond our planet.
