A newly confirmed exoplanet around a nearby sunlike star might be astronomers’ best chance yet to look for life beyond the ...

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

Astronomers are now looking for exoplanets that are easier to characterize or have interesting features to test their hypotheses and consolidate their knowledge. This is the case of planet HD ...

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.

The name HD 20794a now belongs to a planet that doesn't actually exist, while exoplanets HD 20794b, HD 20794c, and HD 20794d actually circle their star. But HD 20794d doesn't quite circle after ...

Nearby exoplanet, HD 20794 d, orbits a star very similar to our Sun - a placement that is necessary for life as we know it. Located roughly 19.7 light-years away, the exoplanet is a relatively ...

The discovery of a potentially habitable 'super-Earth' exoplanet, HD 20794 d, was published in the scientific journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. Located approximately 19.7 light-years away from ...
