A team of astronomers confirms the existence of a fifth potentially habitable planet around L 98-59, a 35-liter red dwarf.

"We found that hundreds of exoplanets are larger than they appear, and that shifts our understanding of exoplanets on a large ...

Researchers studied the L 98-59 system and confirmed five rocky planets. One is in the habitable zone and may support liquid water.

A team led by UdeM researchers confirms a fifth potentially habitable planet around L 98-59, a red dwarf 35 light-years away.

The punishing radiation appears to be causing the planet to shed its atmosphere at a rate of at least 1 trillion grams per second, according to a new study involving NASA 's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

A rocky planet with a 24-hour orbit and an ice giant that takes five years to complete its orbit have been detected orbiting ...
