Barnard's Star, exoplanets

4 rocky exoplanets found around Barnard's Star, one of the sun's nearest neighbors
The planets are all too hot for life as we know it, but astronomers haven’t given up searching for more planets in Barnard's Star's habitable zone.

Four small rocky planets confirmed orbiting nearby Barnard's star
Astronomers have identified a quartet of small rocky planets orbiting Barnard's star - one of our closest stellar neighbors - though they concluded that all of them are too hot to harbor life, much like our solar system's innermost planet Mercury.
Unveiling Barnard's Quartet: Small Planets Amid Stars
Astronomers have discovered four rocky exoplanets orbiting Barnard's star, the closest single star to our solar system. All four are too hot for life due to close orbits. These findings advance the understanding of small planets outside our solar system using enhanced detection methods.

Four small planets discovered around one of the closest stars to Earth – an expert explains what we know
Consequently, even though it is one of the closest stars to Earth, such that its light takes only six years to get here, it is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Now, four small planets have been found orbiting the star.
