- Discovery Alert: A ‘Super-Earth’ in the Habitable Zone - Science@NASAKey facts: The bigger planet, dubbed TOI-715 b, is about one and a half times as wide as Earth, and orbits within the “conservative” habitable zone around its parent star. That’s the distance from the star that could give the planet the right temperature for liquid water to form on its surface.
- Discovery Alert: With Six New Worlds, 5,500 Discovery Milestone Passed!NASA's Exoplanet Archive confirmed four new worlds, bringing the total past 5,500. On Aug. 24, 2023, more than three decades after the first confirmation of planets beyond our own solar system, scientists announced the discovery of six new exoplanets, stretching that number to 5,502.
