In a groundbreaking development, astronomers have identified potential biosignatures on an exoplanet, a discovery that could ...

The indeterminate nature of the team's results means that JWST is far from finished with TRAPPIST-1e. The researchers hope to ...

Stellar migration may greatly increase the number of habitable planets in the Milky Way. Future ESA missions will test these predictions with detailed exoplanet observations. What can the Galactic Hab ...

A recent discovery has sent ripples through the scientific community, with astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope to ...

The James Webb Space Telescope cannot observe Earth directly. It is too bright and could damage the telescope. However, ...

TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star located about 40 light years away that hosts seven Earth-sized rocky planets, with at least ...

White dwarfs may still host habitable planets. Conditions like tidal heating and migration shape their potential for life. The Sun will eventually die. This will occur when it exhausts the hydrogen ...

A recent study that combines data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with a detailed analysis published in The Astrophysical Journal provides compelling evidence that the Earth-sized exoplanet ...

University of Bristol astrophysicists are helping shed new light on an Earth-sized exoplanet 40 light years away where liquid ...

TRAPPIST-1e, just 40 light-years away, may host a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, making it the most Earth-like exoplanet ...

In the search for habitable exoplanets, atmospheric conditions play a key role in determining if a planet can sustain liquid ...

An international team used NASA's JWST to observe a planet named Trappist-1 e, to determine if this rocky planet located within its star's habitable zone has an atmosphere. This planet is one of seven ...
