There may be many Earth-like planets scattered around the universe, a study has suggested, raising the possibility that other habitable worlds are out there—and that life may have evolved on it.

The study of exoplanets has matured considerably in the last 10 years. During this time, the majority of the over 4000 exoplanets currently known were discovered. It was also during this time that ...

By harnessing the power of AI, the search for Earth-like exoplanets is accelerating at an unprecedented rate, bringing the dream of finding extraterrestrial life closer to reality than ever before.

3D map of exoplanet atmosphere ... "This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works—not just on Earth, but on all planets. It feels like ...

The next two, each just under three times Earth’s diameter, qualify as Neptune-like, with masses of 8.6 and 7.56 that of Earth. The outermost three planets are also Neptune-like, with 2.8, 8 ...
