Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have investigated a nearby sub-Earth exoplanet known as Gliese 367 b. The obtained results indicate that this alien world is dark, hot and ...

Two teams of scientists have discovered a theoretically habitable planet, smaller than Earth but bigger than Venus, orbiting a small star about 40 light-years away. The exoplanet, named Gliese 12b ...

In an exciting breakthrough for astronomy and the search for extraterrestrial life, a team of international scientists has announced the discovery of Gliese 12 b, a temperate, Earth-sized ...

The nearby star Gliese 229 harbours a ‘brown dwarf’ companion: an object less massive than a star but more massive than a planet. High-resolution observations reveal that it is two objects ...

Gliese 229 B, discovered in 1995, has long stumped scientists. Now, we know why — it is a binary system of two brown dwarfs orbiting each other, in orbit around their parent red dwarf star.

Now, thanks to observations made using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, astronomers have confirmed that Gliese 229B is actually two brown dwarfs— Gliese 229Ba and Gliese 229Bb ...

Two teams of scientists have discovered a so-called "exo-Venus" — similar in scale to Earth's evil twin planet, but with a chance of being habitable, depending on its atmosphere.

The exoplanet Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star. The potentially habitable planet could be a good place to search ...
