Lately we've been reporting about a series of studies on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), NASA's flagship telescope ...
With an orbital period around one year, much like Earth's 13-hour transit duration, HD 137010 b tantalises as Earth 2.0.
Could there be an even better planet for us than Earth? Scientists are searching for a superhabitable world that wouldn’t ...
Thirty years ago, astronomers didn’t know if planets around other stars were common. Today, NASA says we’ve confirmed 6,000 exoplanets — a staggering number considering the first definitive discovery ...
Earth-like atmospheres require precise balances of nitrogen, oxygen, and CO₂, supported by long-term geological and biological processes. Most M-dwarf planets face atmospheric loss due to intense ...
Spotting Earth-like planets is nearly impossible with conventional telescopes, but researchers propose a bold fix: a rectangular design that can separate a planet’s faint glow from its blinding star.
"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years." When you purchase through links on ...
