The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, ...

Researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of planet K2-18b, located about ...

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.

A super-Earth on a highly eccentric orbit would also be especially bad news for the inner planets, because it would be more likely to push or pull Earth, Mars and Venus into eccentric or tilted ...

Its unique location means that the super-Earth could possibly be habitable, meaning it could hold evidence of alien life. The planet is known as TOI-0715 b, and it’s about one and a half times ...

Super-Earth TOI-1452 b, depicted in this artist’s rendition, orbits a red dwarf star some 100 light-years away. It is 70 percent larger than Earth and five times our planet’s mass, with a ...

If super-Earths only had liquid water for relatively small slices of their existence–for instance, a million years or so–it would be “discouraging” for the hypothesis that these planets ...
