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

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, ...

An exoplanet called HD 137010 b might be the closest thing astronomers have ever seen to “Earth 2.0.” The trouble is that it’s only been seen once—and may never be glimpsed again ...

A team of researchers at the University of Southern Queensland has discovered a potentially habitable planet 150 light-years away near the outer edge of the habitable zone.

The Earth-size planet HD 137010 b has a ‘50% chance of residing in the habitable zone’ of its sun-like star, scientists say ...

A newly identified Earth-sized exoplanet with a year-long orbit may lie near its star’s habitable zone, but extreme cold could limit its chances of hosting liquid water.

Alexander Venner picked his way by hand through the data collected by a now-retired NASA telescope called Kepler, which examined the sky for exoplanets ...

Astronomers have announced the discovery of what appears to be an "ice cold Earth," a chilly but potentially habitable rocky ...
