Scientists identify exoplanet candidate HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-size world orbiting a Sun-like star 146 light-years away ...

NASA has discovered a new super-Earth that has a year only lasting a few hours. The exoplanet K2-141b, was found very close to its orange sun-like star, and has an orbital period of less than one ...

Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was suspected ...

Six planets are set to align on Saturday, creating a planetary parade that will be visible to sky-gazers across the globe.

Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new exoplanet is situated "fairly close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits ...
