A super-Earth that could explain the universe's mysterious lack of certain exoplanets has been found by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the planet-measuring ESPRESSO ...

55 Cancri e is a super-Earth planet that appears composed of diamond-like carbon — now, thanks to the JWST, astronomers have found the world has "grown" a second atmosphere.

Earth, dubbed Kepler-725c, has been discovered orbiting within the habitable zone of its host star, offering new possibilities in the search for Earth-like conditions beyond our solar system.

The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among the few rocky planets outside our solar system with a significant atmosphere, wrapped a blanket of carbon dioxide and carbon ...

The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among the few rocky planets outside our solar system with a significant atmosphere, wrapped a blanket of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

A thick atmosphere has been detected around a planet that’s twice as big as Earth in a nearby solar system, researchers said. The so-called super Earth — known as 55 Cancri e — is among the ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified TOI-1846 b, a super-Earth exoplanet located 154 light-years away.

Exoplanets — that is, planets we know exist outside of our own Solar System — come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Some are super … ...

Compare that to Earth, where the mass-fraction of water is just 0.02%. Advertisement Yet if TOI-152b had been reduced by stellar radiation, there would be no water or atmosphere left at all.
