Toxic Gas May Have Sparked Life on Earth Through Icy ‘Cobweb’ Crystals
Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology suggest that frozen hydrogen cyanide may have helped trigger the chemistry that led to life on Earth. Their simulations show HCN forming cobweb-like ice crystals whose reactive surfaces enable unusual chemical reactions even in extreme cold. These processes could generate amino acids, nucl...

TRAPPIST-1e Methane Signal Likely False, Webb Data Suggests Airless Planet
The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, located about 39 light-years from Earth, hosts seven rocky worlds orbiting a cool red dwarf star. While several of these Earth-sized planets lie in the star’s habitable zone, new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest their atmospheres may be too thin to support life. Earlier hints of methane aro...

Study Traces Moon-Forming Impact to an Inner Solar System Neighbour Named Theia
A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner Solar System, close to Earth’s birthplace. By comparing heavy-element isotope ratios in lunar rocks, Earth samples, and meteorites, researchers found identical signatures, showing both worlds form...

Astronomers Detect Hints Of Hidden Earth-Sized Planet Beyond Neptune
Astronomers propose the existence of ‘Planet Y’, a hidden Earth-size planet that may orbit closer than the theorized ‘Planet Nine’. Based on Kuiper Belt object patterns, the study suggests a rocky world influencing orbital tilts. Experts remain divided, but upcoming sky surveys could soon confirm or rule out its existence.
