This “super-Earth,” dubbed HD 20794 d, boasts a mass six times that of our planet and resides within the star’s “habitable zone.” The zone represents the optimal distance from a star ...

This is what astronomers have named HD 20794 d. It’s an exoplanet that resides just 20 light-years outside our Solar System and while it might not look like much, experts say it has all the ...

Named HD 20794 D, the newly discovered exoplanet orbits a star similar to the Sun, and researchers believe it may be able to sustain liquid water, which is vital for life, as we know it, to exist.

The confirmed discovery of exoplanets revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Among the thousands of confirmed exoplanets, HD 20794 d in particular, recently attracted attention for a unique ...

For part of its 647-day year, HD 20794d is flush with HD 20794's radiation. At other times, it's so devoid of its star's warmth that its water, if it has any, would freeze solid.

HD 20794 d has been described by experts as a super-Earth, an Earth-like planet that's much larger than our own.

For stars such as the Sun or HD 20794, it can extend from 0.7 to 1.5 astronomical units (AU), encompassing not only the orbit of the Earth but also that of Mars in the case of the Sun.

HD 20794 d orbits its star at a distance slightly less than Mars’s orbit around the Sun. For a star like the Sun, the habitable zone stretches from about 0.7 to 1.5 astronomical units, with Earth ...

HD 20794 d, with a mass six times that of Earth, orbits a star similar to our sun. The planet’s location within the habitable zone — where conditions may allow liquid water to exist — offers ...

The Canary Islands Astrophysics Institute (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) have confirmed the existence of a new super-Earth planet, HD 20794 d, in the habitable zone around the Sun ...

With over 7,000 exoplanets identified in our galaxy, scientists are shifting their focus to studying these worlds' characteristics in the quest for extraterrestrial life. The backdrop for one team is ...
