Researchers have discovered an atmosphere around a distant, rocky exoplanet named LHS 1140b. The planet is located in its star's "habitable zone," a distance where conditions could allow for liquid ...
An ancient rocky world so close to its star that its surface is largely molten should have been stripped bare of gas long ago. Instead, new observations reveal that this ultra-hot planet has somehow ...
In this artist’s concept, the exoplanet LHS 1140b is shown in the foreground, surrounded by a helium-rich atmosphere. Another nearby rocky planet orbits the same cool red dwarf star in the ...
Mars holds a special place in the solar system. It represents marginal habitability. This means it transitioned from warm and wet and potentially hospitable, to cold and dry and inhospitable. "Mars is ...
What do the surfaces of rocky exoplanets look like? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated how heat measurements could be used ...

Scientists have found an Earth-like exoplanet
A rocky super-Earth 48 light-years away, approximately 1.7 times the diameter and 5.6 times the mass of our planet, may be capable of sustaining life. The exoplanet, LHS 1140 b, was leaking helium, ...
