Astronomers Find Planet Close To Solar System With Earth-Like Size And Orbit
Researchers estimate that the planet has about a 50% chance of being in its star's Hoble zone.

Scientists Discover 'Potentially Habitable' Earth-Like Planet Candidate
If confirmed, this exoplanet would be the only known rocky world in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.

NASA’s Miner++ AI Brings Machine Digs Into TESS Archive to the Hunt for Nearby Earth-Like Worlds
NASA’s TESS mission is revolutionising the search for exoplanets with the help of artificial intelligence. Using deep-learning tools such as ExoMiner++, scientists can rapidly distinguish real planetary transits from stellar noise. This approach has already revealed thousands of planet candidates and is expected to play a crucial role as upcoming...

Kepler and TESS Discoveries Help Astronomers Confirm Over 6,000 Exoplanets Orbiting Other Stars
More than 6,000 exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars), one of the most rapidly expanding frontiers in science, have now been confirmed by astronomers. Their search of other worlds has been transformed within a span of thirty years, which started as a form of speculation, to accurate detection. However, in the midst of this wave of discoveries, ...

James Webb Telescope Captures First Direct Image of Saturn-Mass Exoplanet
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reached a major milestone by capturing its first direct image of TWA 7 b, a newly discovered Saturn-mass exoplanet orbiting the young star TWA 7. Using a coronagraph to block starlight, Webb identified the planet embedded in the star’s dusty ring system. TWA 7 b is the smallest exoplanet ever imaged dir...

In Search For Earth-Like Habitable Planets, Scientists Find A 6-Pack Orbiting Sun-Like Star
The discovery made the news because of the unusual nature of the planets, which are locked into a resonance with one another.

Astronomers Spot Two Earth-Like Planets in a Nearby Multiplanet System
In a significant discovery, astronomers have spotted one of the closest known multiplanet systems located within our galactic neighbourhood. The system is about 10 parsecs or 33 light-years from Earth and was identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Earth-Like Planet May Exist In Nearby Star System: Indian Origin Scientists
An Earth-like planet may be lurking in a star system just 16 light years away, scientists including one of Indian origin have predicted.

How Hidden Stars May Impact Search For Earth-Like Planets
Researchers have found that hidden stars may make planets appear smaller than they actually are, complicating the search for Earth-like planets.

'We Are Probably Not Alone': NASA Finds 10 'Earth-Like' Worlds
Astronomers using the Kepler space telescope have detected 219 possible new exoplanets in our galaxy, including 10 relatively small, rocky and possibly habitable planets similar to our own, NASA announced Monday.
