How many Earth-like exoplanets orbit M dwarf stars (Red dwarf stars), which are smaller and cooler than our Sun? This is what ...

The habitable zone is also known as the "Goldilocks zone" because planets orbiting at that "just right" distance from a star are not too hot or too cold to host liquid water.

The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, ...

Hycean worlds are also called ocean worlds. They're planets covered in oceans that also have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

NASA’s planet-hunting telescope discovered an exoplanet in the habitable zone of a nearby star. It’s one of four known planets about 100 light-years away.

The James Webb Space Telescope investigated a giant planet, K2-18b, that could be an ocean world, according to NASA. The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth.

When it comes to exploring habitable exoplanets, astronomers are limited in what they can do. The James Webb Space Telescope relies on infrared astronomy to interrogate points of light.

Their paper, "The time evolution of the ultraviolet habitable zone," was recently published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters.. As Spinelli told Universe Today via ...

The eccentric orbit of planet HD 20794 d sends this world swooping through a skewed swath of its star’s habitable zone. (Dumusque et al. 2025) Gabriel Pérez Díaz, SMM (IAC) ...

If the ice is even cleaner, a potential habitable zone could extend as deep as 2.15 to 3.1 m (7.05 to 10.17 ft). Liquid water would still be necessary for this kind of life, ...
