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.

Kepler Data Reveals Earth-Size Exoplanet on the Edge of Its Star’s Habitable Zone
Scientists studying Kepler telescope data have identified HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star. While the planet follows a year-long orbit and may sit near the habitable zone, limited starlight could leave it colder than Mars. Future observations will determine whether this icy world truly exists.

NASA Missions Uncover a Diverse Galaxy of Super-Earths, Raising New Questions About Planetary Evolution
Super-Earths are among the most common planets in the galaxy, yet none exist in our solar system. Larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, they range from ocean-covered worlds to scorched, atmosphere-less rocks. Some orbit within habitable zones, making them prime candidates for life. NASA’s Kepler and TESS missions, along with upcoming telesc...
