Astronomers found some key ingredients for life, and for livable worlds, in a dark, dense cloud of gas about 550 light years away. The chemicals that astronomers recently found, clinging to tiny dust grains in a cold cloud of molecular gas, aren’t the building blocks...by sagesgroup | Jan 13, 2023 | Astronomy, Extraterrestrial Life, Mars, mars curiosity rover, NASA, Planets, Science, Space Science
In a new study, scientists studied “halos” on Mars — but the treasure inside isn’t quite what you’ve heard. These sections of bedrock are brighter-colored and lighter-toned than the rest. They also run along the sides of fractures, old grooves where liquid water...by sagesgroup | Jan 12, 2023 | A1, ESA, exoplanets, James Webb Telescope, NASA, Planets, Science, Space Science, tess
Earth has a rocky twin orbiting a dim red star 41 light years away — but it may turn out to be a hot hellworld more like Venus. Exoplanet LH 475b has a radius about 99 percent the size of Earth’s, but that rocky radius is surrounded by either a choking atmosphere of...by sagesgroup | Jan 11, 2023 | A1, Astronomy, Card story, Life in Space, NASA, Planets, Space Science
Newly-discovered planet TOI-700 e could potentially host life, thanks to its position around its host star. View this story on...by sagesgroup | Dec 30, 2022 | A1, Astronomy, Astrophysics, exoplanets, kepler, Planets, Science, Space Science
In a star system 2,600 light years away, a Jupiter-like exoplanet called Kepler-1658b is spiraling toward a fiery collision with its star, and it could shed light on the terrible fate that awaits our own cozy world. Astronomers would have remained blissfully ignorant...by sagesgroup | Nov 24, 2022 | A1, Astronomy, exoplanets, James Webb Telescope, NASA, Planets, Science, Space Science
The future of other worlds is looking bright thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. In newly released findings from the Webb Early Release Science program, researchers obtained the first-ever detailed chemical profile of an exoplanet’s atmosphere, and even came to...
