Two Earth-mass exoplanets orbiting nearby star discovered

Using the radial velocity (RV) method, an international team of astronomers has discovered two new exoplanets transiting a nearby M-dwarf star known as GJ 1002. The newfound alien worlds have masses similar to that of our planet and orbit the host star in its habitable zone. The finding is reported in a paper published in Astronomy & Astrophysics.
