With the discovery of ever more exoplanets—over 6,000 now—scientists, of course, want to know if they are habitable for life.

Exoplanet habitability depends on a whole host of factors, with liquid water at the top of the list. It also requires a stable atmosphere, the right chemistry, and possibly even things like plate ...

Scientists are observing an Earth-like exoplanet that may contain water using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the space agency said in a news release. The exoplanet, known as TRAPPIST-1 e, orbits ...

In a historic discovery that has left scientists and astronomy enthusiasts in awe, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially identified a new exoplanet orbiting Alpha Centauri A. This ...

In a groundbreaking development, astronomers have identified potential biosignatures on an exoplanet, a discovery that could suggest the presence of extraterrestrial life. This article delves into the ...

The candidate gas giant orbits Alpha Centauri A, a nearby star much like our sun. Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting ...

"TRAPPIST-1e has long been considered one of the best habitable zone planets to search for an atmosphere." Astronomers have investigated the atmosphere and potential habitability of a famous ...
