NASA Finds Thick Atmosphere On Rare Rocky Exoplanet
Scientists are now analysing the entire data in depth to create a complete map of the temperature around the planet and better understand the composition of its atmosphere.

Astronomers Stunned By Three Earth-Sized Planets In Distant Unique Planetary System
The study revealed that TOI-2267 has two closely bound stars orbiting each other, and the third planet transits the companion star.

Habitable Zone Explained: The ‘Goldilocks Zone’ Where Life-Friendly Planets May Exist
The habitable zone, or “Goldilocks zone”, is the region around a star where conditions allow liquid water to exist. Varying with star type, this zone is key in the search for life. Earth’s location in the Sun’s habitable zone has made life possible, and astronomers seek similar rocky exoplanets in other systems to explore the possibility of...

Scientists Discover New Sub-Neptune Exoplanet Using Radial Velocity Detection Technique
A team of international astronomers has identified a new sub-Neptune exoplanet that has been orbiting the star called GI 410. This has been a magnificent discovery in the area of science. This newly detected sub-Neptune exoplanet weighs approximately 8.5 Earth masses. The discovery was commenced by the use of the Radial Method, the technique that h...

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

Earth-Sized World With Potential For Life Discovered Just 40 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered Gliese 12 b, an exoplanet potentially habitable due to its size and temperature similarity to Earth and Venus.

Astronomers Find A Planet Exactly Earth's Size Just 72 Light Years Away
An exoplanet identical in size to Earth was discovered by astronomers.

Scientists Study Shrinking Mini-Neptunes to Understand Planetary Evolution
Scientists at Caltech have discovered four exoplanets — TOI 560b, TOI 1430.01, TOI 1683.01, and TOI 2076b – that appear to be shrinking in size and losing their atmosphere gradually. The rate at which this change is taking place suggests that these celestial bodies, called mini-Neptunes, will eventually lose their atmosphere completely to becom...

Astronomers Locate “Super Earth” Exoplanet in the Habitable Zone of Its Host Star
In a recent discovery, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet or a super-Earth that is four times the size of our planet. The planet, Ross 508 b, orbits the star at a distance that offers temperatures conducive to the formation of water on the surface of the planet.
