• Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.
• Discoveries made with La Silla telescopes include the HARPS-spectrograph detection of the planets orbiting within the Gliese 581 planetary system, which contains the first known rocky planet in a habitable zone outside the solar system.
• It is the second-closest planet in its system and likely to be a rocky planet, not a gas giant.
• In geology, the crust is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite.
• This star has rank 14 on TPF-C's top 100 target stars to search for a rocky planet in the Habitable Zone, approximately 1.2 AU, or a little beyond an Earth-like orbit.

• Concentrations of radionuclides in rocky planet mantles may be critical for the habitability of Earth-like planets.
• A fumarole (or fumerole) is a vent in the surface of the Earth or other rocky planet from which hot volcanic gases and vapors are emitted, without any accompanying liquids or solids.
• It detected the planets within the Gliese 581 planetary system, which contains what may be the first known rocky planet in a habitable zone, outside the Solar System.
• For example, a 2015 study of the white dwarf Ton 345 concluded that its metal abundances were consistent with those of a differentiated, rocky planet whose mantle had been eroded by the host star's wind during its asymptotic giant branch phase.
• These are the highest clouds discovered over the surface of a rocky planet.

• Other researchers dispute this, and conclude COROT-7b was always a rocky planet and not the eroded core of a gas or ice giant, due to the young age of the star system.
• Ogrons are low-intelligence, ape-like hominids who live in scattered communities on the rocky planet Ograviss, on the outer fringes of the Milky Way, far from the central spaceways.
• The inner planet, Kepler-10b, is a rocky planet that orbits every ~0.8 days at a distance of 0.01684 AU.
• One possible explanation for the high Bond albedo could be that Kepler-10b is a coreless rocky planet with surface magma oceans rich in iron oxides.
• They first appeared in a 1967 episode of the original series, "Arena", in which Captain Kirk fights an unnamed Gorn on a rocky planet.

• Eccentricity analysis indicates that Gliese 667 Cb is not a rocky planet.
• Shield volcanoes are found wherever fluid low-silica lava reaches the surface of a rocky planet.
