Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have discovered a planet that has easily risen to the top of the list for best spots where alien life might exist. The exoplanet is called LHS1140b and is located in a solar system about 39 light years away. It is being ...
Since the first exoplanet was confirmed orbiting a sunlike star in 1995, scientists have discovered over 5,000 of these distant worlds. More than half of these discoveries were made by NASA's Kepler space telescope, which launched in 2009 to determine how common Earth-like planets are through...
IT’S the planet we’ve all been waiting for. Earlier this month, rumours swirled that astronomers had discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting the closest star to our own, the aptly named Proxima Centauri. Well, the planet’s real, but don’t pack your interstellar bags yet...
Earth-like planets. However, most of them are too far away to study their atmospheres. "The exoplanet must have the right physical and orbital configuration to be suitable for atmospheric investigation," said planetary scientist Trifon Trifonov of the Max Planck Institute forAstronomyin Germany, le...
Astrocomb breakthrough could help discover Earth-like planets Researchers say the development could help them find a planet similar to our own that orbits a sun-like star. New Earth-like planets could soon be discovered after scientists made a technological breakthrough....

When it comes to hunting for life on a planet around a red dwarf, the sevenEarth-like planets of the Trappist-1 system, many of which are in thehabitable zoneof their star, are still better targets. But this doesn't make SPECULOOS-3 b uninteresting. Far from it. ...
B Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet orbiting the star closest to our planet other than the sun. It is the closest planet ever found outside the solar system that could support life as we know it. The planet is just 4. 2light years away from us. It is so close that scie...
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 orbiting the same star. The super-Earth exoplanet, known as TOI-715b, orbits a red dwarf star...
