WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- NASA's planet-hunting satellite TESS has discovered its first Earth-size planet in its star's habitable zone, according to NASA scientists attending the 235th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Honolulu. They used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to c...
WASHINGTON, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The United States space agency NASA's Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life, and new evidence in the Martian atmosphere that relates to the search for current life on the Red...
New method for detecting exoplanet atmospheres could help find habitable planets The discoveries are part of several hundred new planet candidates identified in new Kepler mission science data, released on Tuesday, Feb. 1. The findings increase the number of planet candidates identified by Kepler to...
To be classified as a planet, researchers must confirm its status within a 99 percent likelihood. The research that led to the confirmation of the 1,284 new planets analyzed data collected by the Kepler as of July, when the space telescope had identified 4,302 potential planets. This data ...
NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered a world between the sizes of Mars and Earth orbiting a bright, cool, nearby star. The planet, called L 98-59b, marks the tiniest discovered by TESS to date.

Kepler-37b was found by the Kepler spacecraft as part of its ongoing mission to find Earth-like planets orbiting other stars in what is called the “habitable zone” – the band of space around a star where the temperature is right to sustain liquid water and therefore possibly life. ...
