When astronomers search for planets that could host liquid water on their surface, they start by looking at a star's habitable zone. Water is a key ingredient for life, and on a planet too close to ...
Our search for exoplanets is focused on Milky Way stars. It's been successful, with more than 6,000 detected so far. Scientists are even beginning to move beyond mere detections, and working on ...
This collection celebrates the 30 th anniversary of the detection of the first planet outside our Solar System orbiting a main sequence star. Experts reflect on the impact of various milestones in ...
This artist’s concept shows the volatile red dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 and its four most closely orbiting planets, all of which have been observed by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST has yet ...
An international team of scientists dubbed the exoplanet, named GJ 251 c, a “super-Earth” as data suggest it has a rocky composition similar to Earth and is almost four times as massive. Credit: ...
"We thought clouds would hide life from us, but surprisingly, they could help us find life." Astronomers usually don't like clouds. After all, clouds obscure their view of the cosmos. But dense cloud ...
