The exoplanet, K2-2016-BLG-0005Lb, is almost identical to Jupiter in terms of its mass and its distance from its sun was discovered using data obtained in 2016 by NASA's Kepler space telescope. The ...

Here are some pics of most earth-like exoplanets uploaded by NASA: Gliese 667Cc, 22 light-years from Earth, is 4.5 times Earth's mass, orbits its cooler red dwarf star in 28 days, and likely resides ...

The dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 4214 resides about 10 million light-years away. The galaxy’s relative proximity, combined with the wide variety of evolutionary stages among its stars. This image from ...

Max Kepler hit eight homers last season, the fewest he’s ever hit in a big-league season, which makes him an unlikely source to supply the Phillies’ outfield with more power in 2025.
