Could white dwarf stars host habitable exoplanets that might support life as we know it? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal | Space ...

Astronomers have detected an exoplanet just twenty light years away that's residing in its star's habitable zone.

Astronomers have identified sulfur as a potentially crucial indicator in narrowing the search for life on other planets.

White dwarf stars could host habitable planets. Fast planetary rotation reduces cloud cover, keeping surface temperatures stable.

Scientists believe the exoplanet HD 20794 d, six times the mass of Earth, could harbour liquid water on its surface.

Around a star just 20 light-years from the Solar System, astronomers have confirmed the existence of what might be a ...

An international team of researchers has confirmed the existence of an exoplanet first identified by Oxford researcher Dr ...

How would detecting methane help astronomers identify if exoplanets, or even exomoons, have life as we know it, or even as we ...

Last year, astronomers discovered an unusual Earth-size exoplanet they believe has a hemisphere of molten lava, with its ...

Scientists from Oxford University have confirmed the discovery of HD 20794 d, a “super-Earth” exoplanet located 20 ...

Earth' exoplanet, HD 20794 d, located just 20 light-years away, which could potentially host life. It resides in t ...

For this reason, not much consideration has been given to these stars' ability to host habitable exoplanets," Shields said. "Our computer simulations suggest that if rocky planets exist in their ...
