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 ...
Kepler-69c has gone through a similar process; though initially estimated to be potentially habitable, [68] it was quickly realized that the planet is more likely to be similar to Venus, [69] and is thus no longer considered habitable. [1] Several other planets, such as Gliese 180 b, also appear to be examples of planets once considered ...
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.
This list is incomplete, currently containing 34 exoplanets, 11 of which probably lie inside their star's habitable zone. There are roughly 2,000 stars at a distance of up to 50 light-years from the Solar System [4] (64 of them are yellow-orange "G" stars like the Sun [5]). As many as 15% of them could have Earth-sized planets in the habitable ...
TOI-2257 b is an extremely eccentric (0.496) [2] exoplanet in or near the circumstellar habitable zone of the star TOI-2257, 188 light-years away. It is likely a sub-Neptune exoplanet, with a mass of 5.71 Mearth and a radius of 2.19 Rearth. [3]
Two teams of scientists have discovered a theoretically habitable planet called Gliese 12b that’s smaller than Earth but bigger than Venus, just 40 light-years away.
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
