ESO discovers Earth-sized planet in nearest star system to Earth

EU Times — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:26:02 +0000

An Earth-sized planet has been found orbiting a star in Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbouring solar system. The mystery world circling Alpha Centauri B is thought to be much too hot to support life, with surface temperatures of around 1,500C. But astronomers say it is likely to be part of a more extensive solar system […]

First glimpse of a planet from another galaxy

EU Times — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 07:02:21 +0000

A hot, gaseous and fast-spinning planet has been found orbiting a dying star on the edge of the Milky Way, in the first such discovery of a planet from outside our galaxy, scientists said Thursday. Slightly larger than the size of Jupiter, the largest in our solar system, the newly discovered exoplanet is orbiting a […]
