Astronomers at Heidelberg University's Konigstuhl Observatory have found that Earth-sized planets are particularly prevalent around low-mass stars, according to new findings from the CARMENES project. The study led to the discovery of four new exoplanets and offers compelling evidence that stars with less than one-sixth the mass of our Sun frequently host terrestrial worlds.

The earliest light in the universe has been traveling across space since just after the Big Bang. Known as the cosmic microwave background, it is imperceptible to the human eye. But if scientists can capture it, using some of the most sensitive detectors ever made, it can tell us about how our universe formed and evolved over time.
