Newly found super-Earth orbits nearby star in promising habitable zone



Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 24, 2025
Astronomers at the University of California, Irvine have discovered an exoplanet positioned in the habitable zone of its host star, where conditions may allow liquid water to exist on the surface. This newly identified exoplanet is a super-Earth, several times more massive than our own planet, and potentially rocky. The planet, named GJ 251 c, orbits an M-dwarf star only about 18 light-years from Earth, making it an excellent candidate for future direct imaging investigations. M-dwarf stars ... read more
