In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have identified a super-Earth exoplanet that may host vast oceans. This celestial body, believed to be rich in water, has sparked excitement in the scientific ...

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.

"It confirms K2-18 b to be our best chance to study a potential habitable environment beyond the solar system at the present time." ...

NASA says researchers studying exoplanets in space using the TESS space telescope have discovered a super-Earth orbiting its red star's habitable zone. Scientists say one "year" of its orbit would ...

The other is 70% larger than the Earth and might host a deep ocean. These two exoplanets are super-Earths — more massive than the Earth but smaller than ice giants like Uranus and Neptune.

On Earth, the scale height is about 6 miles (10 kilometers), while on Gliese 1214 b it is three times deeper, according to Narita. "We predict that ionic or plasma water can be seen deep inside ...

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 ...

The two super-Earths, however, are a little too close for comfort, meaning they’re too hot to maintain liquid water. Both receive between 2.5 and eight times more energy from their star than ...

Super-Earths are planets larger than Earth that can reach up to 10 times this planet's mass. Previous research suggests that super-Earths are the most common type of planet.

Diamond 'super-Earth' may not be quite so precious Date: October 8, 2013 Source: University of Arizona Summary: An alien world believed to be the first-known planet to consist largely of diamond ...

Researchers define a celestial body as a super-Earth in terms of its size: It has to be larger than Earth and smaller than Neptune. The term doesn't necessarily suggest that the exoplanet is ...
