Earth-sized planets commstormonly found around smallest stars reveals CARMENES data



Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jun 30, 2025
Astronomers at Heidelberg University's Konigstuhl Observatory have found that Earth-sized planets are particularly prevalent around low-mass stars, according to new findings from the CARMENES project. The study led to the discovery of four new exoplanets and offers compelling evidence that stars with less than one-sixth the mass of our Sun frequently host terrestrial worlds. The observations were conducted using the CARMENES spectrograph at the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain. Developed at the Kon ... read more
