Considered a solitary star for its lack of stellar companions, Barnard's Star is notoriously lonely—signs of any exoplanets ...

Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - ...

Barnard’s Star has fascinated astronomers for decades. At just six light-years away, it is the second-closest single star to our own Sun. Now, two separate research teams have found solid evidence ...

TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star about 40.7 light-years away from Earth. It is of particular interest because it has seven ...

Earth" planet has been discovered orbiting a star just 20 light-years away from Earth, offering exciting possibilities for ...

With an orbit of 647 days, HD 20794 d is similar to Mars in our solar system. However, its orbit around the star is highly ...

Astronomers have discovered four small planets orbiting Barnard's Star, the second-closest star system to Earth, using ...

Studying the orbits of thousands of exoplanets shows that large planets tend to have elliptical orbits, while smaller planets ...

UCLA astrophysicists have now measured the shape of the orbits of exoplanets -- from the size of Jupiter down to the size of Mars -- and shown that small planets have nearly circular orbits, while ...

In research highlighted in a new paper, published today in The Astrophysical Journal, Scientia Senior Lecturer Ben Montet and PhD candidate Brendan McKee analysed changes in the timing of a known ...

Earth has a nearly circular orbit, but some planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets, have very elliptical orbits. UCLA astrophysicists have now measured the shape of the orbits of ...
