Barnard, exoplanet

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 exoplanets discovered orbiting our cosmic neighbor, Barnard’s Star
The recent findings up the number of exoplanets orbiting Barnard’s Star from one to at least three, possibly four, as researchers were able to use the MAROON-X instrument on the Gemini North telescope to confirm the existence of planets that were previously only candidates.
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.

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.
