Beyond our solar system, countless alien worlds of lava, ice, water and noxious gas swirl through the cosmos. Here are some of the strangest exoplanets that scientists have discovered so far.

The exoplanet, named Gliese 12 b, orbits a small red dwarf star about 40 light years from Earth, in the constellation Pisces. Discovered using NASA's TESS satellite, it is estimated to be between the ...

A far away planet may have characteristics for life via air and water. NASA Although the name isn’t so moving, its potential is. “Of all currently known temperate exoplanets, LHS 1140 b could ...

Yeah, this is a tremendously exciting new exoplanet. Gliese 12 b is the nearest transiting temperate Earth-sized planet that we found to date. And this was actually, it was a long process for ...

The age-old question has been debated for centuries. Gliese 12b, an Earth-sized exoplanet that’s only 40 light years away, might be a good candidate.

Gliese 12b was identified with the aid of data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which observes changes in the brightness of stars that might signal the presence of planets.

At only "40 light-years away," Gliese 12b has been described as one of the "the nearest, transiting, temperate, Earth-size world located to date," with a radius just "1.0 times" that of Earth ...
