Astronomers have discovered a “super-Earth,” or a world larger than our planet, orbiting a star about 137 light-years away. A second planet, thought to be the size of Earth, may also be ...

Super-Earths might be far more common in the Universe than previously thought. A recent study using the KMTNet telescope network has revealed their presence in unexpected locations. This ...

The exoplanet is 'about one and a half times as wide as Earth' and in a system that is only 137 light-years from Earth The exoplanet is 'about one and a half times as wide as Earth' and in a ...

The exoplanet, TOI-715 b, is about one and a half times the width of Earth. Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new ...

This is the background to the discovery of super-Earth HD 20794 d by an international team including the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the NCCR PlanetS. '"Are we alone in the universe?"' ...

"New data shows that TOI-1075 b is one of the most massive super-Earths discovered so far," NASA officials wrote in a Nov. 8 announcement of the discovery. Related: 10 amazing exoplanet ...

But this new study shows that there might be a point where stars with very little metal can’t form super-Earths at all. Earlier this year, NASA announced the discovery of a super-Earth 137 light ...

The discovery of a nearby "super Earth" has astronomers raring to learn more about the large planet – particularly whether it has the conditions to support life. The same system where an ...

NASA has discovered a “super-Earth” that may be habitable — and it’s “only” 137 light-years away. “By astronomical standards, that’s not too bad!” the agency insisted on X about ...

Scientists found an intriguing world in our galaxy. They confirmed the existence of a rocky planet, called a "super-Earth," that's some six times as massive as Earth. While the world HD 20794 d is ...

They can be rocky (like Earth) or largely composed of thick, swirling gases. Or both. Around one-third of exoplanets discovered so far are super-Earths, meaning they're awfully common in other ...
