Barnard's star, Orbit and Tiny Planets

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.

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.
Scientists discover four mini-earths at Barnard’s star
Star is a small, dim red dwarf star located in the constellation Ophiuchus. It’s distance was first measured by the astronomer E.E. Barnard in 1916 and has the highest proper motion of any known star,
After 100 Years of Searching, Astronomers Confirm Four Planets at Barnard’s Star
Astronomers have discovered not one, but four tiny planets orbiting Barnard’s Star, our cosmic neighbor. These planets, each about a fifth the mass of Earth, whip around their host star in just days—likely too hot for life but a major milestone in detecting smaller planets.
Four tiny planets found orbiting one of Earth's nearest stars in 'incredible' discovery
Barnard's Star is the second-nearest star system to Earth, and four tiny planets have been discovered around it
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.
Astronomers Find Four Sub-Earth Planets Just Six Light-Years Away
Barnard’s Star has fascinated astronomers for decades. At just six light-years away, it is the second-closest single star to our own Sun. Now, two separate research teams have found solid evidence that four tiny planets—each less than half the mass of Earth—circle this nearby star at incredibly close distances.
Astronomers just found four planets revolving around the second-closest star to Earth– but there’s a twist
In a new, groundbreaking discovery that has captivated the astronomy community, scientists have confirmed the presence of not one, but four small planets orbiting Barnard’s Star– the second-closest star system to Earth.
