Gliese 12 b is the closest known Earth-sized planet with potential for human habitation, but its atmosphere remains unknown.

Gliese 12 b, an Earth-like exoplanet, could host human life if proven to have an Earth-like atmosphere and temperature for water formation.

Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have measured the size of an exoplanet just 22 light years away, confirming it as the closest known Earth-sized world to our solar system.

The exoplanet, named LTT 1445Ac, has a diameter 1.07 times that of Earth's and a mass of around 1.37 Earths. However, its surface temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit makes it uninhabitable for potential life.

To observe exoplanets, astronomers rely on a transit event where the planet passes between a telescope and a star, causing a dip in the star's light. The researchers initially used the TESS satellite to observe LTT 1445Ac, but the Hubble Space Telescope provided conclusive data.

Astronomers have discovered an Earth-sized exoplanet with a hemisphere of molten lava.

TESS is designed to identify planets orbiting bright stars relatively close to Earth and figure out their compositions and atmospheres.

TESS spacecraft resumed observations after recovering from reaction wheel problem.

A super-Earth has been discovered orbiting a red dwarf star in the habitable zone, potentially capable of hosting liquid water on its surface.

Researchers also suspect the existence of a smaller planet within the same region, which could be the smallest habitable zone planet discovered by NASA's TESS.

Scientists have discovered a rare six-exoplanet system around a nearby star.

The system has remained largely unchanged since its formation around four billion years ago.

The planets have sub-Neptune-sized radii and exhibit resonant orbits.
