The nearest single star to the Sun hosts an exoplanet at least 3.2 times as massive as Earth \u2014 a so-called super-Earth. Data from a worldwide array of telescopes, including ESO\u2019s planet-hunting HARPS instrument, have revealed this frozen, dimly lit world. The newly discovered planet is the second-closest known exoplanet to the Earth and orbits the fastest moving star in the night sky.

The nearest single star to the Sun hosts an exoplanet at least 3.2 times as massive as Earth \u2014 a so-called super-Earth. One of the largest observing campaigns to date using data from a world-wide array of telescopes, including ESO\u2019s planet-hunting HARPS instrument, have revealed this frozen, dimly lit world. The newly discovered planet is the second-closest known exoplanet to the Earth. Barnard\u2019s star is the fastest moving star in the night sky.<\/p>\n
