TOI-1452 b is a confirmed super-Earth exoplanet, possibly a water world, orbiting a red-dwarf star TOI-1452 about 100 light-years away in the Draco constellation. [2] [3] The exoplanet is about 70% larger in diameter than Earth, and roughly five times as massive. [4]
Astronomers used NASA’s planet-hunting TESS satellite to find a “super-Earth” as well as a possible Earth-size planet, both orbiting a star 137 light-years away.
A near-Earth supernova is an explosion resulting from the death of a star that occurs close enough to the Earth (roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs (pc) [30 to 1000 light-years] away [2]) to have noticeable effects on Earth's biosphere. An estimated 20 supernova explosions have happened within 300 pc of the Earth over the last 11 million years.
In April 2013, using observations by NASA's Kepler mission team led by William Borucki, of the agency's Ames Research Center, found five planets orbiting in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star, Kepler-62, 1,200 light years from Earth. These new super-Earths have radii of 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.9 times that of Earth.
Scientists using Nasa’s Webb telescope have found an icy “super-Earth” that could be home to alien life. When researchers first discovered the planet, known as LHS 1140 b, they thought it ...
The planet, named TOI-715 b, is around 1 1/2 times the width of our Earth and is orbiting in a habitable zone around its parent star. Researchers discover super-Earth with a 19-day year Skip to ...
The exoplanet orbits the star TOI-700 100 light-years away in the Dorado constellation. [80] The TOI-700 system contains two other planets: TOI-700 b, another Earth-sized planet, and TOI-700 c, a super-Earth. This system is unique in that the larger planet is found between the two smaller planets.
This one is 100 light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. ... The six found so far are roughly two to three times the size of Earth, but with ...
