Beyond the habitable zone: Exoplanet atmospheres are the next clue to finding life on planets orbiting distant stars
Beyond the habitable zone: Exoplanet atmospheres are the next clue to finding life on planets orbiting distant stars Astronomers are searching for signs of life on exoplanets beyond the habitable zone by studying their atmospheres, which can provide clues about whether liquid water and life exist. The habitable zone marks the region between a star’s […]

New model helps to figure out which distant planets may host life
New model helps to figure out which distant planets may host life The search for life beyond Earth is challenging due to the difficulty in interpreting biosignatures and determining habitability. A new approach called the quantitative habitability framework has been developed to identify potentially habitable planets or moons and interpret potential biosignatures by modeling how […]
