NASA confirms the existence of TOI‑1846 b, a nearby hot super-Earth that could contain water, initially observed by NASA's TESS telescope.

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.

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, ...

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.

If super-Earths lack such dynamic cores, investigators suggested they might lack magnetic fields as well. [The Strangest Alien Planets (Photos)] ...

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.
