HELSINKI — China plans to launch an exoplanet observatory in 2028 with the aim of making a breakthrough detection of a potential second Earth. Around 5,000 exoplanets have been found since 1995 ...

A futuristic telescope design could one day let scientists finally look at fine details of the atmosphere of Earth-sized exoplanets — confirming if some are potentially habitable worlds. It ...

Despite the fact that it's 1,400 light-years away, Kepler-452b is remarkably similar to the planet we call home. Its radius is roughly 1.5 times that of Earth, and it circles a sun-like star in an ...

China's Earth 2.0 Telescope would look for Earth-size exoplanets with similar orbits around sun-like stars, in hopes of finding an Earth "twin." ...

Chinese government-backed scientists will scour deep space for exoplanets orbiting a star like our Sun in the “habitable zone”. However, this ‘Earth 2.0’ would also need to have the right ...

At the same time, Earth 2.0 will be able to observe dimmer and more distant stars than does NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which surveys bright stars near Earth.
