In a cosmic neighborhood not too far from our own, astronomers have uncovered a tantalizing discovery: a ‘super-Earth‘ named HD 20794 d, orbiting a star eerily similar to our Sun, just 20 light-years away. This exoplanet, boasting a mass six ...
LP 890-9b and LP 890-9c are the monikers of the two new “super-Earth” exoplanets that astronomers have found. As you have already guessed, both are larger than our planet. The two space bodies are orbiting the LP 890-9 star, and ...
“Super-Earths” keep popping up. The most numerous exoplanets are those between Earth and Neptune in size, yet they’re also the most perplexing. Are they rocky like Earth, complete with atmospheres and liquid water, but much larger? Or are they “mini-Neptunes” ...
Astronomers have identified a strange planet not present in our solar system orbiting other stars. It is neither too large nor too tiny but falls between the Earth’s and Neptune’s radii. Dense “super-Earths,” more prominent than Earth, are found near ...
An intriguing, rocky, and hot super-Earth amazes scientists with its features. The planet has almost three times the mass of Earth, but their densities are the same. Other measurements indicate the super-Earth is 50 % bigger than our planet and ...
