Astronomers used NASA’s planet-hunting TESS satellite to find a “super-Earth” as well as a possible Earth-size planet, both orbiting a star 137 light-years away.

NASA's exoplanet-hunting spacecraft TESS has spotted a 'super-Earth' in the habitable zone of its red dwarf star, with indications it may have Earth-sized company.

NASA has identified a potential "super-Earth," TOI-715 b, 137 light-years away, with characteristics suggesting a habitable zone and potential for liquid water. Orbiting a red dwarf, the planet completes an orbit in just 19 days. The discovery, made by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), presents opportunities for further exploration using the James Webb telescope. While much depends on TOI-715 bs properties, this breakthrough enhances our understanding of distant planets...

NASA announced the discovery of a Super-Earth, dubbed TOI-715b, orbiting in the habitable zone around a Red Dwarf Star named TOI-715, 137 light-years...

Our planet sits in the Habitable Zone of our Sun, the special place where water can be liquid on the surface of a world.

An Earth-sized planet, found orbiting a sun-like star just 73 light years away, was discovered in follow-up observations confirming earlier findings by TESS. Continue reading to learn more details.

Researchers have just come a step closer to uncovering the secrets of an alien planet that may be the most likely of all known extrasolar worlds to host life.

When astronomers search for exoplanets, are they missing potential habitable ones?

If the James Webb Space Telescope detects depleted carbon dioxide in a planet's atmosphere, that could indicate water.

Using starlights reflection was once the method to ascertain a planets habitability, but a recent finding redefines this by focusing on carbon dioxide.
