El Proyecto MEarth es uno de los proyectos financiados por la NSF de los Estados Unidos, es un observatorio robótico de búsquedas de planetas super-Tierra en tránsito alrededor de estrellas enana rojas del tipo M. MEarth consta de ocho telescopios Ritchey-Chrétien de 40 cm (16 in) f/9, robóticos controlados por RC Optical ...
The MEarth Project (pronounced mirth [1]) is a United States NSF -funded [2] robotic exoplanet observatory that is part of the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins. The project monitors the brightness of thousands of red dwarf stars with the goal of finding transiting planets.

The MEarth Project (pronounced "mirth") is an astronomical survey that is using robotic telescopes to observe nearby M dwarf stars in search of new Earth-like exoplanets. Please explore this website to learn more about exoplanets, M dwarfs, and our project!
The MEarth Project — pronounced “mirth” — simplifies the problem by looking for planets orbiting small, red M dwarf stars. Potentially habitable Earth-sized planets have smaller orbits around these stars than yellow Sun-like stars, allowing MEarth to identify them.
In April 2017, MEarth announced the discovery of LHS1140b, a rocky planet 1.7 times the size of the Earth. LHS 1140b transits a star that is both very small (1/5 the size of the Sun) and very nearby (only 49 light years away). It also receives similar amounts of energy from its star that Earth does from the Sun, which means it may have liquid ...
16 de dic. de 2009 · Discovered by the MEarth project and investigated further by the HARPS spectrograph on ESO’s 3.6-metre telescope at La Silla, GJ1214b is the second super-Earth exoplanet for which astronomers have determined the mass and radius, giving vital clues about its structure. It is also the first super-Earth around which an atmosphere has ...
