This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. Astronomers have estimated that there are tens of billions of such rocky worlds orbiting faint red dwarf stars in the ...

Astronomers have added two more exoplanets to a growing study aimed at finding out whether rocky worlds near small, faint stars might have air. The new pair brings the number of targets in the project ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets. On Earth, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) like the one we experienced ...

Red dwarfs make up the vast majority of stars in the galaxy. Such ubiquity means they host the majority of rocky exoplanets we've found so far—which in turn makes them interesting for astrobiological ...
