First super-earths. [1] First planet discovered via radial velocity: 51 Pegasi b: 51 Pegasi: 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. [2] While the minimum mass of HD 114762 b was high enough (11 Jupiter-masses) that it could be a brown dwarf, 51 Peg b's minimum mass meant that it almost certainly was near the mass of ...
The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the size of Earth and were in habitable zones where surface temperatures are suitable for liquid water.

51 Pegasi b: In 1995 this became the first exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star to have its existence confirmed.It is a hot Jupiter with a 4.2-day orbit. [12]47 Ursae Majoris b: In 1996 this Jupiter-like planet was the first long-period planet discovered, orbiting at 2.11 AU from the star with the eccentricity of 0.049.

Nepal received $4.1 billion in donations after back-to-back earthquakes in April killed more than 8,500 people. Earlier this year, the Confederate battle flag, long a symbol of racism to many in the American South, was removed from the South Carolina Capitol grounds after a white supremacist killed nine parishioners in a traditionally black ...
