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

So magnetospheres in “super-Earths” could be more prevalent than previously thought, but also last longer than on Earth-sized rocky planets.

The bold question-askers at What If search for answers about whether Super-Earths could become humanity’s new home.

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, ...

Newly discovered super-Earths add to the list of planets around other stars that offer the best chance of finding life. An astronomer explains what makes these super-Earths such excellent candidates.

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 ...

So-called "super-Earth" alien worlds may bear little resemblance to our own home planet and thus could be less likely to support life than previously believed, a new study suggests.Super-Earths ...

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

Any alien civilizations born on "super-Earth" alien planets may be ground-bound by their home worlds' powerful gravity, a new study suggests.

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.
