Scientists used computer models to determine how likely a planet is to be habitable by its age, size, and distance from its sun.
An observational technique called ‘beam-forming’ detects exoplanetary radio emissions that allow researchers to calculate exoplanets’…
For the past few decades, scientists have been looking at planets outside of our solar system to see if they could host life. Now,…
In recent decades the search for extraterrestrial life has seen major advancements in technology and methodology. The search for…
We know very little about the insides of planets. For Earth, scientists have been able to use seismic waves to map out the various layers.…
On a clear night you might easily see Jupiter, Mars or other planets from our solar system. This is how astronomers from thousands of years…
Thanks to NASA’s Kepler Mission, over one-thousand potentially habitable exoplanets have been discovered to-date, orbiting around their…
The airborne Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is a flying observatory aboard a modified Boeing 747 that takes…
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kopparapu, and Eric Wolf attempt to address this question in a recent paper titled "Why do we find ourselves around a…
Our understanding of astrophysics states that we should be seeing co-orbiting planets when astronomers look through their telescopes.…
