Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is suspected. [40] HD 101581 c: 0.0925 6.21 transit 41.7 0.740 ± 0.087 4675 ± 53 Host star is the brightest star with multiple known transiting Earth-size exoplanets. Another transiting planet in the system is ...
Scientists have found a new Earth-like planet that could support alien life – just 40 light-years away.. The planet is a remarkable discovery in the search for habitable worlds: it is slightly ...
The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, the researchers said. Dubbed Gliese 12 b, the planet takes 12.8 days to orbit a ...
The planet also bears some similarities to Venus, which is often dubbed Earth’s “twin” because of the similarities they share. A year on Gliese 12 b is just 12.8 days on Earth because the ...
Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin [4] [5] based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler object of interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a candidate [6] [7] super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by the Kepler space telescope.
This is a list of exoplanets within the circumstellar habitable zone that are either under 10 Earth masses or smaller than 2.5 Earth radii, and thus have a chance of being rocky. [3] [1] Note that inclusion on this list does not guarantee habitability, and in particular the larger planets are more unlikely to have a rocky composition. [4]
A 2024 research note argued that it is still possible that Gliese 581d might exist, on the basis of a new measurement of Gliese 581's rotation period at 148.7 ± 0.8 d, as opposed to the previous value of 130 ± 2 d from the 2014 study refuting the planet. This new rotation period is not a multiple of the planet's proposed period.
The James Webb Space Telescope investigated a giant planet, K2-18b, that could be an ocean world, according to NASA. The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth.
