Scientists Discover New Sub-Neptune Exoplanet Using Radial Velocity Detection Technique
A team of international astronomers has identified a new sub-Neptune exoplanet that has been orbiting the star called GI 410. This has been a magnificent discovery in the area of science. This newly detected sub-Neptune exoplanet weighs approximately 8.5 Earth masses. The discovery was commenced by the use of the Radial Method, the technique that h...

Two New Exoplanets Found Orbiting a Star in Draco Constellation
Astronomers have identified two exoplanets, TOI-1453 b and TOI-1453 c, orbiting a star 250 light-years away in Draco. The planets, a super-Earth and a sub-Neptune, were detected using NASA’s TESS satellite and the HARPS-N spectrograph. TOI-1453 b is a rocky planet orbiting close to its star, while TOI-1453 c is twice Earth’s size and may have a...

Earth-Sized World With Potential For Life Discovered Just 40 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered Gliese 12 b, an exoplanet potentially habitable due to its size and temperature similarity to Earth and Venus.

Astronomers Find A Planet Exactly Earth's Size Just 72 Light Years Away
An exoplanet identical in size to Earth was discovered by astronomers.

Scientists Study Shrinking Mini-Neptunes to Understand Planetary Evolution
Scientists at Caltech have discovered four exoplanets — TOI 560b, TOI 1430.01, TOI 1683.01, and TOI 2076b – that appear to be shrinking in size and losing their atmosphere gradually. The rate at which this change is taking place suggests that these celestial bodies, called mini-Neptunes, will eventually lose their atmosphere completely to becom...

Astronomers Locate “Super Earth” Exoplanet in the Habitable Zone of Its Host Star
In a recent discovery, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet or a super-Earth that is four times the size of our planet. The planet, Ross 508 b, orbits the star at a distance that offers temperatures conducive to the formation of water on the surface of the planet.

Citizen Scientists Find Exoplanet Three Times the Size of Jupiter: NASA
Volunteers interested in astronomy and curious about celestial objects have helped NASA find a super giant planet outside our solar system. This exoplanet is three times the size of Jupiter and located about 379 light-years away from Earth.

First Giant Exoplanet Found Orbiting Extinguished Star
Astronomers have discovered a planet the size of Jupiter closely orbiting the smouldering remains of a dead star, the first time that an intact exoplanet has been discovered travelling around a white dwarf, according to research published Wednesday.

Exoplanet Closest to Earth in Temperature and Size Found, NASA Announces
Kepler-1649c is situated 300 light-years away from the Earth and is most similar to Earth in size and estimated temperature, according to NASA. The planet was discovered by the scientists while going through old observations made by Kepler telescope.

This Large Exoplanet Could Have Right Conditions For Life
Research led by an Indian-origin astronomer has found an exoplanet more than twice the size of Earth that could have the right conditions to sustain alien life.

New Exoplanet Twice The Size Of Earth Found 245 Light Years Away
Using data from NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, an international team of scientists has discovered a new exoplanet twice the size of Earth and about 145 light years away

There's An 'Earth-Like' Planet With An Atmosphere Just 39 Light-Years Away
There are a lot of good reasons to be captivated by the exoplanet GJ 1132b. Located in the constellation Vela, it's a mere 39 light-years from Earth - just a hop, skip and a jump in galactic terms. It's similar to Earth in terms of size and mass, and it dances in a close-in orbit around its star, a dimly burning red dwarf.
