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,
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.
Planetary system found around nearest single star
Using in part the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, partly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and operated by NSF NOIRLab, astronomers have discovered four sub-Earth exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star,
Scientists found four tiny planets orbiting one of our nearest stars
Astronomers have revealed new evidence that there are not just one but four tiny planets circling around Barnard’s Star, the second-nearest star system to Earth. The four planets, each only about 20 to 30% the mass of Earth,
