The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, ...

"Are we alone?" This ancient question has occupied humanity's mind for a long time. In 1995, the discovery of the first ...

But research has shown that the best chance astronomers have of finding life on another planet is likely to be on a super-Earth similar to the ones found recently. Most super-Earths orbit cool ...

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was ...

Planetary scientists recently simulated an alternate version of our solar system: one with a super-Earth causing climate chaos on Earth, Mars and Venus. If our solar system had a super-Earth ...

Astronomers now routinely discover planets orbiting stars outside of the solar system— they’re called exoplanets. But in summer 2022, teams working on NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ...

They sometimes refer to these planets as “cold super-Earths,” because they’re probably up to 10 times more massive than our home. But the researchers hadn’t figured out whether water could ...

The exoplanet, TOI-715 b, is about one and a half times the width of Earth. Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new ...

But now we know we might be the outlier because we have no super-Earth. Super-Earths are a class of planets that are common around other stars. They're defined by mass alone, between two to 10 ...
