The red dwarf, located some 55 light-years away, is 100 times less bright than the sun and exhibits half the temperature of our star. This new extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is named SPECULOOS-3 ...

Recently, a new discovery has been made in the astronomy world in the form of a new exoplanet, Wolf 327b, which orbits the ...
