Exciting new research suggests there are four miniature planets orbiting Barnard’s Star, each thought to be just 20 to 30% the mass of Earth.

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.

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.

Astronomers have found four small planets orbiting Barnard's Star, the second-closest star system to Earth. These planets are too close to the star to be habitable. This breakthrough discovery highlights advancements in astronomical instruments,

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,

Barnard’s Star is our cosmic neighbor, and yet we know so little about it,” said Ritvik Basant, Ph.D student at the University of Chicago

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,
