Barnard’s Star is a dim, reddish ball of gas just six light-years away from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus. It is the nearest stand-alone star to our sun, but with only one-fifth the mass ...

The Barnard’s Star system. The previously discovered planet, Barnard b, is likely a rocky planet with roughly 30 percent Earth’s mass and an orbital period (or “year”) equal to ...

Barnard's Star b is enormous for a rocky planet, at least 3.2 times as massive as Earth. Although its orbit is roughly the same as Mercury's, the planet is probably a freezing wasteland thanks to ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 light-years from Earth. CNN values your feedback 1.

But that wasn't the first time the star had tricked astronomers into thinking it had planets. Astronomer Peter van de Kamp thought he had discovered two gas giant planets around Barnard’s star ...

Perhaps no other star system has elicited so much wonder, mystery and frustration as Barnard’s Star. Astronomers announced last Wednesday they’d discovered a planet in its thrall weighing in ...

Artist’s impression of Barnard b orbiting Barnard’s star. This new exoplanet is too hot to have liquid water on its surface, orbiting its star in only 3 days.

Barnard b [2] is 20 times closer to Barnard’s star than the planet Mercury is to the sun. It has a surface temperature around 257° Fahrenheit and a full year lasts a little over three days here ...

The Barnard's Star system. The previously discovered planet, Barnard b, is likely a rocky planet with roughly 30 percent Earth's mass and an orbital period (or "year") equal to approximately 3.15 ...

Astronomers have discovered four planets that are just a fraction of the mass of Earth orbiting Barnard’s Star, which is 6 light-years from Earth. CNN values your feedback 1.

This rocky planet, discovered with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, is smaller than Earth, and flies around its tiny cool star every three days. Barnard's star is ...

Barnard's star is six light-years away from us, ... Astronomer Peter van de Kamp thought he had discovered two gas giant planets around Barnard’s star, the first as long ago as the 1960s.
