635 light-years from where you are sitting, way out in outer space, lies a planet. The first planet to be discovered inside ...

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...

SIGNS of an alien planet that’s about the same size as Earth have been picked by up a Nasa telescope. Scientists say it might ...

A planet that looks faintly familiar has emerged from old space telescope data, though it may be far from welcoming. Scientists analysing observations.

The candidate is coined HD 137010 b. It would orbit a K-type dwarf star approximately 146 light-years from Earth. The evidence comes from a single transit pattern seen in K2 data from 2017: the star ...

New research suggests Einstein's general relativity explains the rarity of planets orbiting two suns. In tight binary systems ...

On a research trip up to a cemetery in Eldora, Amy Davis and Rikki Diana Pauley saw something strange in the night sky. “She notices it first, and then it blinked,” Davis said. “Almost ...

One group of experts now say that looking for life on water and oxygen-rich planets could be a waste of time.

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified a possible rocky exoplanet named HD 137010b, located 146 light-years away. Dubbed the 'cold Earth', this candidate world orbits a K-type ...

For many critics of religion, particularly within atheist circles, the Big Bang theory is frequently presented as a decisive scientific evidence against belief in God and the biblical doctrine of ...
