A mysterious ‘super-Earth’ planet, which appears to flash a repeated signal from 154 light-years away, has been discovered by Nasa. The planet TOI-1846 b is almost twice the size of Earth and ...

The new study also sheds light on the four other planets orbiting the star. The innermost planet, L 98–59 b, is about 84 per cent the size of Earth, and about half its mass.

The search for life beyond the solar system is heating up. Though biosignatures around super-Earth K2-18b remain unconfirmed, the JWST has found the planet could be a water-rich ocean world.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the solar system closest to ...

Up to 200 worlds investigated by NASA's exoplanet-hunting TESS satellite could be bigger than predicted, a finding that could impact our search for alien life.

NASA defined "super-Earth" as "unlike anything in our solar system, these are 2 to 10 times the mass of Earth, but smaller than Neptune, and can be made of gas, rock or a combination of both." ...
