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

Finding another Earth is the holy grail of modern astronomy. NASA’s upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is ...

Astronomers have recently made an exciting discovery: an exoplanet, merely 12 light-years away from our own planet, is home to liquid water, a crucial ingredient for life as we know it. Understanding ...

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

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 ...

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

That raises the possibility that the TRAPPIST-1e exoplanet could also have liquid water and therefore support life.

There may be a habitable world at the Sun's closest solar twin. In the complex space inhabited by the Alpha Centauri triple star system, JWST has just discerned the presence of a giant exoplanet ...

A huge "super-Earth" with an extreme climate that results in it being habitable for only part of its orbit has been discovered orbiting a star 2,472 light years away. And the most remarkable thing is, ...

Could a recently discovered "super-Earth" have the potential temperature and conditions to sustain life? The new exoplanet is situated "fairly close to us" -- only 137 light-years away -- and orbits ...
