Incredible Earth-Like Exo Planets Discovered That Could Support LifeNASA's Kepler space telescope has discovered three exoplanets that may be capable of supporting life, and one of them is perhaps the most Earth-like alien world spotted to date, scientists announced Thursda...Steve Brown...
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...

Using the 10-meter telescope at theKeck Observatoryin Hawaii, an international team of astronomers discovered anEarth-like planet orbiting a white dwarf star4,000 light-years from Earth. This planet orbits its star, about half the mass of our Sun, at a distance roughly twice ...
New Earth-like planets could soon be discovered after scientists made a technological breakthrough. Physicists have developed an astrocomb that can analyse the blue-green light emitted by stars. Astrocombs can detect tiny variations in a star's light created by orbiting exoplanets (those beyond our...
Such rare systems are particularly interesting to better understand planetary formation and evolution; they are thought to be a key step for the detection of Earth-like planets around stars. The new planetary system is discovered around the star HD88986. This star has a similar temperature to ...
NASA’sWide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE), launched in 2009, spent the next fourteen and half years studying the Universe in infrared wavelengths. During that time, it discovered thousands of minor planets, star clusters, and the first Brown Dwarf and Earth-Trojan asteroid. By 2013, the...
Although it might seem to make sense to look for potentially habitable planets when looking for Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars, those aren’t the only targets that astronomers are interested in. One issue is that most discovered exoplanets are much larger than Earth, partly because ...
the Challenger Deep and the Mariana Trench represent one of the most extreme and least explored environments on our planet. However, scientific expeditions have discovered various organisms adapted to these harsh conditions. These include microorganisms and deep-sea creatures like the snailfish, amphipod...
(238,900 miles). TheMoonis one of the bigger natural satellites in the solar system; only the giant planets have moons comparable or larger in size. Some planetary astronomers consider the Earth-Moon system a double planet, with some similarity in that regard to thedwarf planetPlutoand its ...
