We calculate it for Kepler Objects of Interest and find thatplanets that receive between 60-90% of the Earth's incident radiation, assumingcircular orbits, are most likely to be habitable. Finally, we make predictionsfor the upcoming TESS and JWST missions.doi:10.1088/0004-637X/814/2/91...
“Since our models predict that oceans could be found relatively close to the surfaces of Proxima Centauri b and LHS 1140 b, and their rate of geyser activity could exceed Europa’s by hundreds to thousands of times, telescopes are most likely to detect geological activity on these...
With the help of scientific models and up-to-date information, this poster attempts to artistically visualize together over 800 of known exoplanets believed to be rocky or terrestrial, including dozens of Earth-like habitable worlds, comparing their r
“Water is the first thing we look for when we’re trying to see if a planet is habitable, and there are already exciting observations of water inexoplanetatmospheres. But our experiments and modeling suggest these planets most likely also contain haze,” said Chao He, a planetary scientist ...
In addition, a few dozen bigger rocky planets could be habitable, and perhaps one smaller rocky world. More From Popular Mechanics The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. Refresh the page to resume playback ...

Three of the seven planets are considered to be in the habitable zone, which is the area around a star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water, researchers added. Astronomers also pointed out that the newly discovered planetary system orbits TRAPPIST-1, a dwarf star that is...
Figure 5: Exoplanet System Kepler-62, with the Solar System Shown to the Same Scale. The green areas are the “habitable zones,” the range of distance from the star where surface temperatures are likely to be consistent with liquid water. (credit: modification of work by NASA/Ames/JPL-Ca...

Potentially habitable planets can orbit close enough to their host star that the differential gravity across their diameters can produce an elongated shape
