Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes: More Earth-like planets may exist

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy. Using advanced simulations, the researchers propose that these planets emerge from distinct rings of planetesimals, providing fresh insight into planetary evolution beyond our solar system.

Earth-like planets may be more common than we imagined

Discover how Earth-like planets form with a new model that explains the origins of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes.

More Earth-like planets may exist.

A groundbreaking study by Rice University researchers Sho Shibata and Andre Izidoro introduces a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes—planets ranging from one to four times Earth’s size and among the most prevalent in our galaxy. Leveraging advanced simulations, the researchers suggest that these planets originate from distinct rings of planetesimals, offering fresh perspectives on planetary evolution beyond o…
