4 Tiny Planets Found Orbiting Earth's Closest Solitary Star
Considered a solitary star for its lack of stellar companions, Barnard's Star is notoriously lonely—signs of any exoplanets in its orbit have come and gone without reliable evidence. But today, astronomers know the star is in good company.
4 Rocky Worlds Found Orbiting Our Sun's Closest Single Star, And They're Tiny
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.
Four small planets discovered around one of closest stars to Earth
Barnard's Star is a small, dim star, of the type that astronomers call red dwarfs. Consequently, even though it is one of the closest stars to Earth, such that its light takes only six years to get here,
