Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

Cradles of life? New research says oceans on exoplanets may harbor more life than Earth
A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that oceans on exoplanets may be more hospitable than those on Earth. Scientists traditionally detect which exoplanet is potentially habitable by looking for conditions that closely mimic those on Earth. However, exoplanets that greatly vary from the Earth in terms of conditions such as ocean salinity may, in fact, be more primed […]

Space-time ripples could help scientists uncover exoplanets from other galaxies
Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. These waves […]

Breakthrough in the search for extraterrestrial life as scientists discovered stars could host as many as 7 habitable planets
A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This factor could […]

NASA considering the use of “starshade” tech to look for alien planets
NASA has announced its plans to use “starshade” technology on exoplanet-hunting missions. Recent research from the space agency suggests that while the plans may be technologically daunting, it’s not impossible and well within NASA’s reach. Astronomers all over the world have been detecting exoplanets for over a decade now. However, their work has been done only […]

The search for Earth II: Three new French telescopes are searching the stars for another planet like ours
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) announced that a French-led project, known as Exoplanets in Transits and their Atmospheres (ExTrA), may help space experts better observe the night sky for signs of Earth-like planets through three new telescopes installed at the La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. According to ESO, the new telescopes were designed to monitor the night sky to […]
