Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets around single stars, but few around binary stars—even though both types of stars are equally common. Physicists can now explain the dearth.

A unique characteristic of the candidate planet HD 137010b is its ice-cold temperature.

The atmospheric carbon dioxide was thought to be the result of the oxidation of oxygen molecules in the exosphere. As a ...

Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable new planet which is estimated to be 6 percent larger than Earth. Named HD 137010 b, the planet is located about 146 light-away from Earth ...

Dubbed HD 137010 b, the planet might fall just within the outer edges of its star's 'habitable zone', meaning there could be liquid water on its surface and a suitable atmosphere for life.
