Scientists discover new 'Super-Earth'... and it could be home to alien life
Earth”, which could be home to alien life. The planet, known as HD 20794d, orbits in the habitable zone of a star similar to the sun, and is 20 light years away from our solar system - making it a close neighbour in a galaxy that spans 105,
Astronomy breakthrough as ‘Super-Earth' discovered that's candidate for alien life
The discovery of a planet that is just 20 light-years away has been said to be the closest Earth analogue that scientists have ever uncovered.
New super-Earth discovery will help astronomers search for life in the Universe
The study of exoplanets has come a long way since the first detection of a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun in 1995. This groundbreaking discovery, achieved through the radial velocity (RV) technique,
'Super-Earth' planet discovered by scientists that may be suitable for life
Earth” planet that may have conditions suitable for life. The planet is outside our solar system and has a mass six times greater than that of Earth. The discovery is of an exoplanet, this is any planet beyond our solar system,
New 'super-Earth' found that could host alien life - and it's six times bigger than ours
It is believed that the planet, named HD 20794 d, is at just the right distance from its star to sustain water on its surface, but because this distance changes over the course of its elliptical rather than circular orbit it is too early to say whether it could host life.
