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, ...

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

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 ...

An international team of astronomers has found a new super-Earth exoplanet, TOI-1846 b, using NASA 's Transiting Exoplanet ...

A huge "super-Earth" with an extreme climate that results in it being habitable for only part of its orbit has been discovered orbiting a star 2,472 light years away.

Its unique location means that the super-Earth could possibly be habitable, meaning it could hold evidence of alien life. The planet is known as TOI-0715 b, and it’s about one and a half times ...

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.
