Hycean worlds are also called ocean worlds. They're planets covered in oceans that also have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

The discovery of the exoplanet, a super-Earth called Kepler-735c, is all down to something called transit timing variations, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope investigated a giant planet, K2-18b, that could be an ocean world, according to NASA. The exoplanet lies 120 light-years away from Earth.

A habitable zone is a region around a star where planets receive enough stellar energy to have liquid surface water. It's a somewhat crude but helpful first step when examining thousands of ...

The problem is, habitable zones aren't static. advertisement. Phys.org. We need to be looking for life in 'continuous' habitable zones, say researchers. Story by Evan Gough • 1w.

When it comes to exploring habitable exoplanets, astronomers are limited in what they can do. The James Webb Space Telescope relies on infrared astronomy to interrogate points of light.

NASA’s planet-hunting telescope discovered an exoplanet in the habitable zone of a nearby star. It’s one of four known planets about 100 light-years away.
