A new study by astronomers @zah_unihd and the #CARMENES project https://carmenes.caha.es/ shows that very low-mass stars with less than a sixth of the mass of the Sun are particularly likely to host #earthlikeplanets. On average, there are about two per star, which could significantly increase the chances of finding life-friendly worlds in our cosmic neighborhood. The results have now been published in Astronomy & Astrophysics https://www.aanda.org/. #astrophysics #Heidelberg #earthlikeplanets

Earth-Size Planet Found In TOI 700 System's Habitable Zone

NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has been used to discover Earth-size planet TOI 700 e. It is "orbiting within the habitable zone of its star – the range of distances where liquid water could occur on a planet’s surface," according to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. The TOI 700 system is about 100 light-years away. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Robert Hurt/NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

What we found when we went looking for another Earth

In the last few years, scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets - and a lot of them are surprisingly weird.
