The exoplanet HD 20794 d, a super-Earth, has been discovered orbiting a G-type star 19.7 light-years away. It follows an eccentric orbit, oscillating in and out of the star's habitable zone, where ...

The lead author is Marc Hon, a postdoctoral researcher at the MIT TESS Science Office. This paper is referred to hereafter as the MIT study. "We report the discovery of BD+054868Ab, a transiting ...

One of these exoplanets, HD 20794d, is likely to be a rocky planet in the habitable zone of its parent star, the G-dwarf HD 20794. “HD 20794, around which HD 20794d orbits, is not an ordinary star,” ...

In this article, we’ll explore what scientists have uncovered so far and what makes this discovery so special This exoplanet (named HD 20794 d) orbits its star in an elliptical path that takes it in ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have found an exoplanet – a planet outside our own solar system – more than six times the size of Earth. The exoplanet, named HD 20794 d, orbits in ...

This gas giant is nearly three billion miles away. But scientists have found planets way beyond our own solar system. Known as exoplanets, these make Neptune seem close indeed. The closest exoplanet – ...

Astronomers using NASA’s state-of-the-art James Webb Space Telescope have made a groundbreaking discovery of GJ 1214 b, a planet unlike any we've seen before.

It zips around its host star in just four days, following a slightly skewed orbit. The exoplanet is also likely tidally locked to its star the same way the moon is to Earth — but perhaps its ...
