Bookmark or Share- NASA telescope reveals largest batch of Earth-size, habitable-zone ...NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed a new exoplanet discovery: the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.
- Webb Confirms Its First Exoplanet – Exoplanet Exploration: Planets ...Researchers confirmed an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the planet is almost exactly the same size as our own, clocking in at 99% of Earth’s diameter.
- Discovery Alert: A 'Super-Earth' in the Habitable ZoneIn a system with two known planets, astronomers spotted something new: a small object transiting across the Sun-sized star. This turned out to be another planet: extra hot and Earth-sized.
- Overview | What is Exoplanet Watch? – Exoplanet Exploration: Planets ...Discover new exoplanets — using transit timing variations to infer the existence of an additional exoplanet in a extrasolar system; Monitor stellar variability — changes in a star's brightness caused by spots (dark regions) and plages (bright regions) of an exoplanet's host star can be measured
- The nearest potentially habitable planet to Earth – Exoplanet ...“These three planets right next door to us join the small but growing ranks of potentially habitable rocky worlds orbiting nearby stars cooler than our sun.” Small rocky planets like our own are now known to be abundant in our galaxy, and multi-planet systems also appear to be common.
