The Earth-size planet HD 137010 b has a ‘50% chance of residing in the habitable zone’ of its sun-like star, scientists say ...

Australian researchers have made a discovery of a potentially habitable planet 150 light years away - but there’s a catch to the conditions on the Earth-like twin.

“This is the first planet candidate with Earth-like radius and orbital properties transiting a Sun-like star bright enough ...

Scientists have discovered an Earth-sized planet 146 light-years away orbiting a Sun-like star with Mars-like conditions, NASA has said Read Full Article at RT.com ...

Scientists argue that limiting the search for life strictly to a star’s traditional habitable zone is too restrictive. That is in light of new climate models, and observations that suggest that liquid ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.

A unique characteristic of the candidate planet HD 137010b is its ice-cold temperature.

With an orbital period around one year, much like Earth's 13-hour transit duration, HD 137010 b tantalises as Earth 2.0.

Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable new planet which is estimated to be 6 percent larger than Earth. Named HD 137010 b, the planet is located about 146 light-away from Earth ...

Worlds that circle stars other than our own are called “exoplanets.” This specific one could be the very first planet like ...
