HD 20794 d completes its orbit just shy of two Earth years, placing it well within reach of conditions that might harbor 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,

But according to an international team of researchers, including some from the University of Geneva, in a study published Tuesday in Astronomy & Astrophysics believe the super-Earth, dubbed HD 20794 d, could offer new insights into what makes a planet capable of supporting life.

A planet that may support alien life has been discovered less than 20 light-years away from Earth - and it's believed to house water too, according to the research team that found it

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,

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,

Are they exo terrestrials? Mars is apparently not the only planet on our radar capable of sustaining life. UK researchers have confirmed the existence of a “super-Earth” located 20 light-years away that could reveal the existence of extraterrestrial beings,
