Astronomers say they’ve found another potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting a red dwarf star. Wolf 1069b is about the same mass as Earth, so its gravity should be pretty similar. Don’t ...

The planet, named Wolf 1069b, orbits a red dwarf star 31 light-years from Earth and is located within the Milky Way galaxy. A year on this exoplanet is equivalent to nearly half a month on Earth.

Astronomers say Wolf 1069 b has a mass to similar Earth and orbits a red dwarf star, with surface temperature simulations showing it enjoys pleasant temperatures and could support life-giving water.

this risk for losing atmospheres in the habitable zone of dwarf stars may explain why we reside near a rarer star like the Sun." The next step would be to search for biosignatures on Wolf 1069b.

The exoplanet, known as Wolf 1069 b, orbits a red dwarf star just 31 light-years from Earth. Temperatures could rise as high as 13 degrees Celcius, which would keep water liquid on the side of ...

When I was younger, I gazed at the stars at night and wondered ... discovered in the new survey is called Wolf 1069b. It orbits a very small red dwarf, just one sixth the mass of the sun.

That number has been increased by one however, thanks to the discovery of Wolf ... cool stars that are the most common type in the Milky Way. Previous research has indicated that red dwarf stars ...

The new world is one of three surrounding a red dwarf star called Wolf 1061, which is just 14 light years away. It was detected by scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW ...

Wolf 1069 b, however, could support life, researchers say. The exoplanet has a potentially rocky surface like Earth and orbits a red dwarf star. It also has 1.26 the mass of Earth and is about 1. ...

That makes them particularly deadly to would-be life. And red dwarf stars like Wolf 359 are known to produce a lot of radiation — often in the form of flares and other lash-outs. Because of the ...
