Super-Earths, in short, are planets with masses up to 10 times that of our planet, but still less than the masses of gas giant planets. The discovery came after a small extrasolar planet, ...

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

Super-Earth TOI-1452 b, depicted in this artist’s rendition, orbits a red dwarf star some 100 light-years away. It is 70 percent larger than Earth and five times our planet’s mass, with a ...

Super-Earths are super habitable. Over 300 years ago, German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz argued that Earth was the "best of all possible worlds." ...

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 ...

An international team of astronomers has found a new super-Earth exoplanet, TOI-1846 b, using NASA 's Transiting Exoplanet ...

Its unique location means that the super-Earth could possibly be habitable, meaning it could hold evidence of alien life. The planet is known as TOI-0715 b, and it’s about one and a half times ...

Super-Earths are common, yet we don’t have one in our solar system. Photo Credit: NASA Kepler-452b was the first Earth-size planet discovered around a near solar twin.

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.
