4 Tiny Planets Found Orbiting Barnard’s Star

Four small rocky planets confirmed orbiting nearby Barnard's star
Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - though they concluded that all of them are too hot to harbor life, much like our solar system's innermost planet Mercury.

Four tiny planets found orbiting one of Earth's nearest stars in 'incredible' discovery
Barnard's Star is the second-nearest star system to Earth, and four tiny planets have been discovered around it
Researchers find exoplanets in our cosmic neighborhood
Basant's team, which also includes a researcher from Heidelberg University, found the exoplanets using the 8-meter Gemini North telescope on Mauna Kea in the US state of Hawaii. The measuring instrument used was the MAROON-X spectrograph, which was specially designed for the search for red dwarf planets.
After 100 Years of Searching, Astronomers Confirm Four Planets at Barnard’s Star
Astronomers have discovered not one, but four tiny planets orbiting Barnard’s Star, our cosmic neighbor. These planets, each about a fifth the mass of Earth, whip around their host star in just days—likely too hot for life but a major milestone in detecting smaller planets.
Four small planets discovered orbiting the nearest single star to Earth
Exciting new research suggests there are four miniature planets orbiting Barnard’s Star, each thought to be just 20 to 30% the mass of Earth.
Scientists discover four mini-earths at Barnard’s star
Star is a small, dim red dwarf star located in the constellation Ophiuchus. It’s distance was first measured by the astronomer E.E. Barnard in 1916 and has the highest proper motion of any known star,
Astronomers discover 4 new planets orbiting Earth's nearest star—do they have life too?
Astronomers have discovered four small planets orbiting Barnard's Star, the second-closest star system to Earth, using advanced instruments and techniques, shedding light on planetary formation and the search for life beyond our solar system.
Unveiling Barnard's Quartet: Small Planets Amid Stars
Astronomers have discovered four rocky exoplanets orbiting Barnard's star, the closest single star to our solar system. All four are too hot for life due to close orbits. These findings advance the understanding of small planets outside our solar system using enhanced detection methods.
Found: Four Rocky Planets Orbiting Our Closest Lone Star
Barnard’s Star is our cosmic neighbor, and yet we know so little about it,” said Ritvik Basant, Ph.D student at the University of Chicago
