NASA has launched an ambitious project to hunt for signs of life beyond our solar system.
The NexSS [Nexus for Exoplanet System Science] project will help NASA to develop missions to hunt for exoplanets. It will bring together experts in earth science, planetary science, heliophysics and astrophysics together on one platform.

- Fly Around The Solar System
Voyager 2 looking back at the planets in Eyes on the Solar System. NASA?s new beta version of Eyes on the Solar System, developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech, lets you do just that. The web application is essentially a 3D model of the...
- A Large Planet Orbiting A Small Star
An artist's conception of the planetary system. Astrometry, a 50 year old technique used to find exoplanets, planets around other stars, has finally succeeded. Planets outside the solar system are nearly impossible to see, so the method relies on...
- Planets Like Binary Stars, Too
In our solar system, planets, comets, asteroids, and dwarf-planets all orbit around a single star, our Sun. But imagine if we could witness two Suns in our sky. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has helped astronomers see that planetary systems are...
- Voyager 1 Is Going Under Tsunami Wave.
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is continuously experiencing a "Tsunami wave" as it enter the interstellar medium beyond the solar system.The spacecraft launched in 1977 is the farthest [travelling 19.5 billion km(approx) away from earth]...
