Super-Earths, in short, are planets with masses up to 10 times that of our planet, but still less than the masses of gas giant planets. The discovery came after a small extrasolar planet, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified TOI-1846 b, a super-Earth exoplanet located 154 light-years away.

An international team of astronomers has found a new super-Earth exoplanet, TOI-1846 b, using NASA 's Transiting Exoplanet ...

A super-Earth on a highly eccentric orbit would also be especially bad news for the inner planets, because it would be more likely to push or pull Earth, Mars and Venus into eccentric or tilted ...

Its unique location means that the super-Earth could possibly be habitable, meaning it could hold evidence of alien life. The planet is known as TOI-0715 b, and it’s about one and a half times ...

NASA says researchers studying exoplanets in space using the TESS space telescope have discovered a super-Earth orbiting its red star's habitable zone. Scientists say one "year" of its orbit would ...

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.
