NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's ...

An exoplanet located 73 light-years away is defying astronomers' expectations. TOI-270 d, far from being an ocean world, appears to be a scorching super-Earth enveloped in a dense atmosphere.

Astronomers recently used a combination of space telescope observations and computer models to learn more about the super-Earth, TOI-771 b, that was discovered in 2024 using the transit method and ...

A 1 cm³ cube of TOI-512 b's material weighs 5.62 grams, a value close to Earth's (5.51 grams). It is therefore a super-Earth, with a mass 3.5 times that of Earth and a radius 1.5 times larger. It ...

A newly found super-Earth could help provide answers as to why there are hardly any planets twice the diameter of Earth.

Every year, scientists discover something new and amazing about the universe. Some of these you'll hear about no problem, but just as many will never get enough coverage to become general knowledge.

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy. Using ...

A pair of planetary scientists simulated how our solar system might have evolved if it had a super-Earth orbiting where the asteroid belt is today. The results are enough to make you grateful that ...

NASA is always on the hunt for planets like our own, and recently found a new super-Earth by the name of TOI-715b. The planet is larger than our own, but it’s position and makeup mean that it ...

Recent research has shown that the best chance astronomers have of finding life on another planet is likely to be on a super-Earth similar to the ones found recently.
