US space agency NASA has announced the discovery of a ‘super-Earth,’ a planet that might support life and is located 137 light-years away. Dubbed ‘TOI-715 b’, it is said to be about one and a half times as wide as Earth “A ‘super-Earth’ ripe for further investigation orbits a small, reddish star that is, by …
Super-Earth – a planet that is about 30 to 70% bigger than our planet – has recently been spotted by a NASA telescope orbiting Earth. The Super-Earth or exoplanet TOI-715 b, which is about 1.5 times the size of Earth, is in another solar system 137 light-years away. NASA said, “That’s the distance from the …

Exoplanets pushing their atmospheres away may explain a gap in exoplanet masses, according to a team of researchers that recently studied data from NASA’s retired Kepler Space Telescope. What Is Planet Nine and Why Can’t We Find It? The activity could explain an absence of exoplanets with masses between 1.5 to 2 times the size …
