A team has discovered a Neptune-like planet in a binary star system’s habitable zone, highlighting the significant role of citizen scientists in detecting exoplanets with long orbits and contributing to our understanding of multi-star planetary systems. An artist’s interpretation of TOI 4633 c, ...
NASA discovers new Earth-sized planet in a habitable zone NASA had previously discovered three other planets in the same system, one of which was also in the habitable zone. January 11, 2023 Additional Live Streams Additional Live Streams ...
Two other planets known to orbit Proxima Centauri are visible in the image too: Proxima b, a planet with about the same mass as Earth that orbits the star every 11 days and is within the habitable zone, and candidate Proxima c, which is on a longer five-year orbit around the star. ...

Conclusions.We confirm the low impact of stellar activity on exoplanet detectability for solar-type stars, although it plays a significant role for the closest stars such asαCen A and B. We identify the best targets to be the stars with a close habitable zone. However, for the few stars...
WASHINGTON, June 19 (Xinhua) -- U.S. space agency NASA announced Monday that its Kepler space telescope has discovered 219 new planet candidates outside our Solar System. Of those, 10 are near-Earth size and orbiting in their star's habitable zone, which is the range of distance from a...

The Chesterfield skink was discovered in 1994 and officially classified as a distinct species in 2008, but is critically endangered and their population has been reduced so much that few of these skinks have been seen recently. Other endangered animals include the following: ...
