The Kepler-444 system consists of the planet hosting primary and a pair of M-dwarf stars. The M-dwarfs orbit each other at a distance of less than 0.3 AU while the pair orbits the primary in a highly eccentric 324-year orbit.
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.
At least two (Kepler-438b and Kepler-442b) of the discovered planets announced that month were likely rocky and in the habitable zone. [40] Also in January 2015, NASA reported that five confirmed sub-earth-sized rocky exoplanets, all smaller than the planet Venus, were found orbiting the 11.2 billion year old star Kepler-444, making this star ...

NASA's Kepler Spots over 100 New Exoplanets, Some in Habitable Zone. ... According to NASA, "The planets, all between 20 and 50 percent larger than Earth by diameter, are orbiting the M dwarf star ...
Planet c is possibly a potentially habitable Super-Earth but is probably too hot or massive. [55] [56] Mu Arae: Ara: 17 h 44 m 08.70 s: −51° 50′ 02.6″ 5.15: 51: G3IV-V: 1.077: 5704: 6.413: 4: Planet Quijote orbits in the circumstellar habitable zone. However, it is a gas giant, so it itself is uninhabitable although a large moon orbiting ...
In the early solar system, planets including Earth and various moons were pelted by asteroids and other space debris that carried water and chemicals including organic compounds.
This artist's visualisation of WASP-127b, a giant gas planet located about 520 light-years from Earth, shows its newly discovered supersonic jet winds that move around the planet's equator.
