Super-Earth In the Solar System Could Have Rendered Our Planet Uninhabitable, Says Study
A recent study explores a hypothetical super-Earth between Mars and Jupiter, revealing its severe impact on Earth's orbit and climate. Conducted by Florida Institute of Technology scientists Emily Simpson and Howard Chen, the simulation demonstrates how such a planet’s gravity could destabilise neighbouring planets, causing erratic orbits and ext...

Rocky Exoplanets May Be Holding Water in Deep Molten Iron Cores, Reveals Research
Recent research has shifted our understanding of water distribution on rocky exoplanets. The study reveals that up to 95 percent of a planet’s water could be sequestered deep within its molten iron core, challenging previous assumptions about water-rich worlds. This finding raises the possibility that much more water is hidden within the planet, ...

Astronomers Confirm Tidally Locked Alien World, Shedding Light On Exoplanet Mysteries
Astronomers confirm the existence of a first-of-its-kind tidally locked exoplanet, Kua'kua. This alien world is locked to its star, resulting in permanent day on one side and eternal night on the other.

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.

Astronomers Discover Two Super-Earths Orbiting a Star 11 Light-Years Away
Astronomers have discovered two super-Earths around a star Gilese 887 that is approximately 11 light-years away from our planet. The two exoplanets – a term used for planets outside our solar system – are called Gilese 887b and Gilese 887c, and the scientists claim that they could ‘potentially host life’.

Astronomers Find Rare “Super-Earth” Towards the Centre of Our Galaxy
Astronomers have discovered a rare new “Super-Earth” closer to the centre of our galaxy. The planet is one of those few discovered planets that are similar to Earth in size and orbit.

Newly Discovered Super-Earth Exoplanet May Harbour Alien Life, Study Claims
Barnard b (or GJ 699 b) is a super-Earth with a minimum of 3.2 Earth masses. It orbits its red star every 233 days near the snow-line, a distance where water freezes.
