The bold question-askers at What If search for answers about whether Super-Earths could become humanity’s new home.

So magnetospheres in “super-Earths” could be more prevalent than previously thought, but also last longer than on Earth-sized rocky planets.

Super-Earths, in short, are planets with masses up to 10 times that of our planet, but still less than the masses of gas giant planets. The discovery came after a small extrasolar planet, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified TOI-1846 b, a super-Earth exoplanet located 154 light-years away.

So-called "super-Earth" alien worlds may bear little resemblance to our own home planet and thus could be less likely to support life than previously believed, a new study suggests.Super-Earths ...

A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet that is close to Earth's size and mass, but does not have the mass of a gas giant.

Super-Earth TOI-1452 b, depicted in this artist’s rendition, orbits a red dwarf star some 100 light-years away. It is 70 percent larger than Earth and five times our planet’s mass, with a ...

Super-Earths are super habitable. Over 300 years ago, German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz argued that Earth was the "best of all possible worlds." ...

The first super-Earths, two exoplanets with masses 4 times that of Earth, were found orbiting a pulsar called PSR B1257+12 in 1992. The first super-Earth around a main sequence star one that is on ...

Super-Earths are common, yet we don’t have one in our solar system. Photo Credit: NASA Kepler-452b was the first Earth-size planet discovered around a near solar twin.

Super-Earths can exist in wider orbits around their parent stars than was previously believed, suggesting these Earth-like exoplanets could be more common than we thought.
