Astronomers have found a new super-Earth named TOI-1846 b. This planet is about twice the size of Earth. It orbits a red ...

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 ...

TOI-512b could have once been a Neptune-like world that lost most of its gas. Based on its density, mass and volume, Rodrigues' team modeled what the interior structure of the planet might be.

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

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 super-Earth on a highly eccentric orbit would also be especially bad news for the inner planets, because it would be more likely to push or pull Earth, Mars and Venus into eccentric or tilted ...

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 ...

EPIC 206317286 c is a super Earth exoplanet that orbits a K-type star. Its mass is 5.03 Earths and it takes 17.5 days to complete one orbit of its star. Its discovery was announced in 2022.
