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 ...
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 was found using data from the NASA Kepler Space Telescope, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.K2-415b was discovered in February 2023. [2]K2-415b is approximately 1.015 times the radius of Earth and is less than 7.5 times the mass of Earth.
The planet receives about 1.6 times more energy from its star than Earth does from the sun, scientists said. The planet has an average estimated surface temperature only 50°F warmer than Earth’s.
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.
NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program "travel poster" for HD 40307 g. HD 40307 g is an exoplanet candidate suspected to be orbiting in the habitable zone of HD 40307.It is located 42 light-years away in the direction of the southern constellation Pictor.
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.
Kepler-62e is located about 990 light-years (300 parsecs) from Earth in the constellation of Lyra. [3] The exoplanet was found using the transit method, in which the dimming effect that a planet causes as it crosses in front of its star is measured.
