The planet, which orbits its parent star HD156668 about once every four days, is the second-smallest world among the more than 400 exoplanets (planets located outside our solar system) that have been found to date.

The most Earth-like planet yet found around another star may be the rocky remains of a Saturn-sized gas giant.

The smallest known planet outside our solar system started its life as a Saturn-sized gas-rich planet, researchers say.

Nasa's planet-hunting Kepler telescope spots its first five worlds beyond our Solar System, scientists report.

An exoplanet with an extremely tilted orbit raises new interest in stellar astronomy.

The longest set of HARPS measurements ever made has firmly established the nature of the smallest and fastest-orbiting exoplanet known, CoRoT-7b, revealing its mass as five times that of Earth's.

More details are emerging on the extrasolar planet that was discovered by the CoRot satellite back in February. New information about this planet make it first in many respect.
