Based on the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique for the first time, the super-Earth, Kepler-725c, with 10 times the mass of the Earth, has been detected within the habitable zone of the Sun ...

Gu also noted that it requires further investigation to assess whether the discovered habitable planet truly possesses conditions suitable for Earth-like life. The research is jointly conducted by the ...

KUNMING, June 3 (Xinhua) -- For centuries, the question of whether life exists beyond Earth has intrigued humanity, and now a joint discovery by Chinese and German scientists may offer a ...

Astronomers have discovered a third planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star closest to the Sun. Called Proxima Centauri d, the newly spotted world is probably smaller than Earth, and could have ...

If their calculations serve them correctly, Planet Nine would have a mass that is about 1.5 to 3 times that of Earth, at 500 times the distance between our home and the sun.

Proxima b: Closest Earth-like planet discovery in pictures. The team modeled what a hypothetical rocky planet in the Alpha Centauri system's elemental composition might be.

The event KMT-2020-BLG-0414 was detected by the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network, with the lensing star and its potentially future Earth-like planet, located within the Milky Way.

Since the first exoplanets were discovered in the 1990s, many have wondered if we might find another Earth out there, a place scientists call Planet B.

We determined that an Earth-like planet (m ∼ 1.5–3 M⊕) located on a distant (semimajor axis a ∼ 250–500 au, perihelion q ∼ 200 au) and inclined (i ∼ 30°) orbit can explain three fundamental properties ...

Such a planet would be between 1.5 to three times Earth's size and would reside somewhere between 23 billion miles (37 billion km) to 46 billion miles (74 billion km) from the sun, astronomers say.
