A newly identified Earth-sized exoplanet with a year-long orbit may lie near its star’s habitable zone, but extreme cold could limit its chances of hosting liquid water.

The planet is estimated to be about six per cent larger than Earth and follows a roughly 355-day orbit, according to the ...

A new discovery in the search for Earth-like exoplanets has just been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters on ...

A unique characteristic of the candidate planet HD 137010b is its ice-cold temperature.

V1298 Tau links swollen young worlds to the compact planets that astronomers keep finding, and its timing signals made that connection measurable. Future transit-timing and atmospheric observations ...

Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable new planet which is estimated to be 6 percent larger than Earth. Named HD 137010 b, the planet is located about 146 light-away from Earth ...

Researchers estimate that the planet has about a 50% chance of being in its star's Hoble zone.

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was suspected ...

Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new exoplanet is situated "fairly close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits ...

NASA has discovered a new super-Earth that has a year only lasting a few hours. The exoplanet K2-141b, was found very close to its orange sun-like star, and has an orbital period of less than one ...

Scientists continue to mine data gathered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, retired in 2018, and continue to turn up ...

If confirmed, this exoplanet would be the only known rocky world in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.
