An international team of scientists led by Sasha Hinkley at the University of Exeter have used the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope to detect a new exoplanet, a planet orbiting a star other than ...

Gaia-4b, a planet twelve times more massive than Jupiter, orbits its star at a relatively cold distance, taking 570 days to ...

Gaia-4b, a planet 12 times the mass of Jupiter, orbits a surprisingly low-mass star. Scientists are baffled—how did such a massive world form around such a small star? Credit: ESA.

High-precision NEID spectrograph helps confirm first Gaia astrometric planet discovery The NEID spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope conducted crucial follow-up observations to confirm one ...

The planet is a gas giant similar to Jupiter but, according to the new estimate, is 9 to 13 times more massive. It orbits the star Beta Pictoris, the second brightest star in the constellation Pictor.

So far, Gaia's data has been used in more than 13,000 studies. Brown used it to chart the path of stars in our night sky and predict their movements for the next 1.6 million years.
