Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet orbiting the star closest to our planet other than the sun. It is the closest planet ever found outside our solar system that could support life as we know it. This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that spa...
Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet or-biting the star closest to our planet other than the sun. It is the closest planet ever found outside our solar system that could support life as we know it. This planet is just4. 2 light years away from us. It is so close that...
Emily Gilbert, an astronomer at the University of Chicago in Illinois, and her colleagues discovered the planet using NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). It is the first Earth-sized planet discovered by TESS that lies in its star’s habitable zone. Gilbert reported the discover...
(ESO’s VLT) in Chile have found evidence of another planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System. This candidate planet is the third detected in the system and the lightest yet discovered orbiting this star. At just a quarter of Earth’s mass, the planet is ...
In 2016, researchers spotted Proxima b, an apparently Earth-size world orbiting the star in what seems to be the habitable zone, the region where liquid water could exist on the surface. The star itself is about the same age as the sun. (Coincidentally, the team that discovered Proxima b...

with a planet orbiting it. Scientists think this star has a planet because of the pattern of the brightening during the event. If this planet exists, it would be the firstexoplanetdiscovered in another galaxy. The planet may be around 6.34 times the mass ofJupiter, according to a2012 study...
Besides the ice packs at Mars’s poles, astronomers have discovered a frozen sea near its equator. This frozen sea is the size of the North Sea on Earth and appears similar to the ice packs on Antarctica. Scientists have also detected evidence of lava flows 20 million years ago as well ...
