Just over one-third of the mass of the Sun, it is part of a triple star system known as Gliese 667 (GJ 667), which is 22 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion. This is quite ...

Three of the six, Gliese 667 Cb, Gliese 667 Cc and Gliese 667 Cd, were found in the past year with Gliese 667Cc orbiting in the habitable zone. This week a team of astronomers using powerful ...

The habitable zone of a nearby star is filled to the brim with planets that could support alien life, scientists announced today (June 25). An international team of scientists found a record ...

Among Gliese’s exoplanets are seven believed to orbit a triple-star system called Gliese 667. Of those seven planets, three are believed to orbit inside the “habitable zone,” the range of a ...

including two inside the habitable zones of Gliese 581 and Gliese 667 C respectively. The astronomers could estimate how heavy the planets were and how far from their stars they orbited.

Astronomers have found a new planet they believe can sustain life. Located approximately 22 light years away from Earth, Gliese 667Cc was found to be in the middle of a Goldilocks zone ...

This first direct estimate of the number of light planets around red dwarf stars has just been announced by an international team using observations with the HARPS spectrograph on the 3.6-metre ...
