NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's TESS telescope.

This artist’s impression shows the planet orbiting the Sun-like star HD 85512 in the southern constellation of Vela (The Sail). This planet is one of sixteen super-Earths discovered by the HARPS ...

Just because LHS 1140b shares a few key traits with Earth doesn’t mean this planet is exactly like ours, though. But finding a super-Earth with a rocky composition is pretty rare, and the fact ...

A new super-Earth planet that may have an Earth-like climate and be just right to support life has been discovered around a nearby star by an international team of astronomers.

Astronomers have detected an alien planet that may be capable of supporting life as we know it -- and it's just a stone's throw from Earth in the cosmic scheme of things. The newfound exoplanet, a ...

An alien planet declared a super-Earth by NASA might not be so habitable after all. New measurements flag the planet (called Kepler-69c) as more of a "super-Venus" that would likely be ...

This "Super Earth" is the right distance from its star to conceivably harbor life. The planet, called K2-18b, was discovered in 2015 and is one of hundreds of Super Earths – planets with a mass ...

"Super-Earth" alien worlds may bear little resemblance to our own home planet and thus could be less likely to support life than previously believed, a new study suggests.

The research, published in Science Advances, notes that there is "evidence of a possible second planet" orbiting around the star, 4.2 light-years from Earth.If it is indeed a planet, the celestial ...

The alien super-Earth planet 55 Cancri e is likely made of diamond and graphite, an not water and granite, scientists say. The discovery changes the chemical makeup of the exoplanet.

They even describe what such a "superhabitable" planet might look like -- a super-Earth with a mass double or triple that of our planet, orbiting in the habitable zone around a K-type dwarf star ...

From CoRoT-7b's transits, astronomers could tell that the planet is about twice the size of Earth, which is approximately 7,920 miles (12,760 kilometers) wide. Io measures roughly 2,260 miles ...
