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 ...

According to the paper laying out the research behind the discovery, "TOI-1846b is a super-Earth-sized planet, with a radius of approximately 1.8R⊕, placing it within the intriguing radius valley area ...

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

A super-Earth exoplanet has been detected within the habitable zone of a nearby red dwarf star, where liquid water might exist on its surface under the right atmospheric conditions.

The new super-Earth exoplanet is situated "close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits within a "habitable zone," according to NASA.

Earth" planets in our galaxy—think bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune, and with all kinds of surfaces, from rocky to water-rich. Some, like TOI-715 b and Kepler-62 e, orbit in their stars' ...

These super-Earths orbit sun-like stars and tend to be habitable planet candidates, since their conditions most resemble those we know to support life.
