Discovery Of A Nearby Habitable Zone Super-Earth Candidate Amenable To Direct Imaging - Astrobiology
We present the discovery of GJ 251 c, a candidate super-Earth orbiting in the Habitable Zone (HZ) of its M dwarf host star. Using high-precision Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) and NEID RVs, in conjunction with archival RVs from the Keck I High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES), the Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with […] The post Discovery Of A Nearby Habitable Zone Super-Earth Candidate Amenable To Direct Imaging appea…
A new exoplanet called GJ251C has been discovered just 18 light years from Earth. This rocky planet, located in the habitable area of its star, stands as an ideal candidate for future research in the search for life outside our solar system.
Rome, 27 October 2025 GJ 251 c, in the constellation of the Gemini, is a rocky planet that orbits around the star Gliese 251, just 18 light years away from Earth. The discovery, coordinated by the Instituto de Astropísica de Canarias, has been confirmed thanks to data collected with precision instruments such as the Habitable Zone Planet Finder and the spectrometer NID. GJ 251 c is located in the so-called "habitable zone" of its system: the are…
An international group of astronomers has identified signs pointing to the existence of a potentially habitable planet around the star Gliese 251, a type of star known as the red dwarf that is 18 light years from the solar system and is colder and dimer than the Sun. The new world called GJ 251c, would be found in the habitable zone, the region where conditions similar to those of the Earth or even a more temperate world could occur. The discove…
