Luke found life on Tatooine to be boring, but he should be glad, because as we have seen, binary stars have the potential to ...

A team of astronomers claims to have sniffed out a “biosignature” in the atmosphere of a distant planet called K2-18b. But ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are working to confirm potential evidence of life on a distant exoplanet ...

is a movement that was started in 2003 by Sid Lerner, with the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. It aimed to reduce ...

If you have the means, switching to solar energy or a heat pump is also “a huge gift to the planet, and, over time, a huge ...

K2-18b, an exoplanet 120 light-years away, may be the best hope to confirm that life exists beyond Earth. Here's what to know ...

indicating that there were multiple periods in the past when the planet was watery and therefore could have been habitable. Their research was published in the peer-reviewed journal Sciences Advances ...

The new findings provide a long-missing piece in the Martian puzzle, offering a snapshot of a time when the planet was not just habitable, but perhaps truly hospitable. Curiosity’s robotic arm drilled ...

in its so-called "habitable zone," the region around a host star where it's not too hot or cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet. In our solar system, that sweet spot ...

Yet a new climate‑modeling study hints that some of these faint objects – white dwarfs – could keep nearby planets toasty enough for liquid water to exist. That possibility expands the hunting ground ...
