An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby sun-like star.

An international team of scientists has confirmed the discovery of exoplanet HD 20794 d, which potentially could support life ...

Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface. Located 20 light-years away, it orbits within the habitable zone of a star ...

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

HD 20794 d is expected to be a focal point for upcoming projects like the Extremely Large Telescope, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, and the Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). These ...

We have never directly detected volcanic activity outside our solar system, in part because current telescopes aren’t powerful enough to take images of exoplanets’ surfaces. We might be able ...

NASA is set to launch its latest mission, Pandora, in 2025 to study the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) oversubscribed, Pandora will play a crucial ...

If confirmed, the pair sets a new record for the fastest-moving exoplanet system, nearly double our solar system's speed through the Milky Way. The planetary system is thought to move at least 1.2 ...
