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.

4 Rocky Worlds Found Orbiting Earth's Closest Single Star, And They're Tiny
Astronomers have been looking for exoplanets orbiting Barnard's Star, the nearest solitary star to Earth at just 5.96 light-years away, since its discovery in 1916. Unconvincing signs of planets in the lonely star's orbit have been reported previously,
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.
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.
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.
Astronomers Discover Four Tiny Planets Orbiting Barnard's Star
