Cambridge University astronomers spotted two molecules in the planet's atmosphere that give them cause for their theory.

“Given everything we know about this planet, a Hycean world with an ocean that is teeming with life is the scenario that best ...

A chemical called dimethyl sulfide popped up in an analysis of exoplanet K2-18b’s atmosphere. On Earth, it’s only made by ...

NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope has captured what is now the strongest evidence yet of life existing outside of ...

And with the riddim of that SKA classic in mind, I want to call this entry of Slog AM: "Message to You, Dow Constantine." It ...

Scientists know of over a dozen planets that orbit twin stars like the fictional “Star Wars” desert planet Tatooine.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope confirmed that the planet K2-18b has traces of dimethyl sulfide, a potential ...

Astronomers have found thousands of exoplanets — worlds beyond our solar system. Most of them are in single-star systems, ...

For the first time, scientists have found strong evidence of a "polar planet"—a planet whose orbit is tilted at 90 degrees ...

U.S. team of researchers detected signs of two chemicals in the planet's atmosphere long considered to be "biosignatures" indicating extraterrestrial life.

"Polar orbit" means that instead of orbiting in the same plane as where the two stellar objects are located, the planet’s orbit is 90 degrees to that plane, as you can see in the image above. This ...

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have detected the presence of molecules in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b that, on Earth, are solely produced by simple life f ...
