Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface.

Named HD 20794 D, the newly discovered exoplanet orbits a star similar to the Sun, and researchers believe it may be able to sustain liquid water, which is vital for life, as we know it, to exist.

An international team of researchers has confirmed the existence of an exoplanet first identified by Oxford researcher Dr Michael Cretignier in 2022. Researchers have described the planet as “among ...

A newly confirmed exoplanet around a nearby sunlike star might be astronomers’ best chance yet to look for life beyond the ...

Astronomers have found some pretty wild exoplanets. Some are balls of lava the temperature of hell, one is partially made of diamond, and another may rain molten iron. However, not all exoplanets are ...

It was, of course, a great joy for me when we could confirm the planet’s existence,” said Dr. Cretignier. “It was also a ...

In the context of our solar system, Mars — on the outer edge of our habitable zone — orbits our sun at an average distance of 1.5 astronomical units (228 million km/141 million miles), while Venus, on ...

HD 20794 d, with a mass six times that of Earth, orbits a star similar to our sun. The planet’s location within the habitable ...

An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby sun-like star.

A U.S. scientist searching for a civilization across 7 Earth clones circling the red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 says its own alien astronomers could also be scanning Earth.

NASA said the system is thought to be moving at least 1.2 million miler per hour, nearly twice as fast as our solar system.
