The new results were published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. “Finally, real planets have been discovered around Barnard’s Star after several false alarms over the past [50 ...

You can determine when these possibilities might present themselves and how to get ready for them by keeping an eye on important planets and houses. First of all we should know that which houses ...

The nearest single star to the sun, Barnard’s star, has a brood of planets all its own. The red dwarf star, about six light-years from Earth, hosts four close-in planets each about two to three ...

"There really is something very different about how these giant planets form versus how small planets like Earth form." Scientists have used data from NASA's retired planet-hunting space telescope ...

A quartet of small, rocky exoplanets likely circle Barnard's Star, around 6 light-years from Earth, putting them in contention as targets of missions for future human generations.

A combination of the world's most powerful telescopes detected the planets. Astronomers have confirmed the existence of four planets orbiting a star less than 6 light-years away with help from ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has directly observed the key chemical of carbon dioxide in planets outside of our solar system for the first time, scientists announced Monday. The gas giants are ...

The four planets are classified as sub-Earths because each one is about 19% to 34% the mass of Earth, according to new research. “It’s a really exciting find — Barnard’s Star is our cosmic ...
