A team of scientists has discovered that super-Earth exoplanets are more common across the universe than previously thought. The team studied light anomalies made by the newly found planet’s host star ...

A new study released on Thursday describes a search for what are called "microlensing" events, where a planet acts as a ...

In the end, the team discovered OGLE-2016-BLG-0007, which is a super-Earth exoplanet but orbiting farther out than Saturn. After comparing their findings to longstanding models, the researchers ...

Super-Earths, larger planets similar to Earth, are far more common across the universe than scientists previously believed, according to a groundbreaking microlensing study using KMTNet telescopes.

"We found a 'super-Earth'—meaning it's bigger than our home planet but smaller than Neptune—in a place where only planets thousands or hundreds of times more massive than Earth were found ...

Using a technique called gravitational microlensing, the team discovered that these super-Earths can exist far from their stars, in orbits similar to or even wider than Jupiter’s. This ...

Scientists in the United States have 'blown the lid off' the Yellowstone supervolcano's mysterious underground reservoir of magma.

Arrowhead has warned that the invasion of Super Earth is inevitable ... is “Named for the historic conference where Humanity was found to be the most equal species in the galaxy”.

The Solar System is very tidy. You have four rocky planets near the Sun, and four gas giant planets further away. An asteroid belt with a dwarf planet separates the two groups, and many other ...
