Are We Alone? Breakthrough Study Reveals New Way To Find Alien Life
A new model developed by Daniel Apai and his team offers a comprehensive method to assess the habitability of exoplanets, moving beyond traditional water-centric criteria.

Europa Could Briefly Sustain Life When the Sun Becomes a Red Giant Star, Scientists Say
Scientists at Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute propose that Jupiter’s moon Europa could host life for up to 200 million years during the sun’s red giant phase. While Earth would be incinerated, Europa’s subsurface oceans might temporarily support microbial life, offering a final refuge in the solar system and expanding the search for biosigna...

5 Of The World's Largest Islands Worth Adding To Your Travel Wishlist
Beyond their record-breaking size, these world's largest islands offer a reminder that "island life" isn't always about beach bars and flip-flops.

Human-Like Lifeforms Beyond Earth? New Study Says It's More Likely Than We Thought
The research proposes that the emergence of humanity on Earth was not as improbable as previously thought, potentially increasing the likelihood of intelligent life existing on other planets.

Newly Confirmed Super-Earth HD 20794 d May Support Life in Habitable Zone
A super-Earth, HD 20794 d, has been confirmed within a habitable zone 20 light years from Earth. The planet, first detected in 2022, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits a sun-like star. Although its elliptical orbit affects temperature stability, its potential to sustain liquid water makes it a key target for upcoming space missions. Scie...

Bennu Asteroid Sample Reveals Organic Compounds That May Hint at Life Beyond Earth
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission has delivered a sample from asteroid Bennu, revealing amino acids, nucleobases, ammonia, and minerals formed in saltwater. These organic compounds, vital to life, suggest that the building blocks for life might have existed in other regions of the early solar system. The discovery of evaporite minerals, including halite ...

Organic Molecules in Space: A Key to Understanding Life's Cosmic Origins
Organic molecules, the building blocks of life, have been discovered across space—from interstellar clouds to asteroids and comets. Findings from missions like Rosetta, Hayabusa2, and Osiris-Rex reveal that these compounds existed long before the Sun formed. Scientists believe organic molecules survived planetary formation in protoplanetary disks...

Aliens May Be ''Hitching Rides'' To Other Planets On Meteors, New Study Suggests
It's all to do with the idea of "panspermia" a fringe theory which suggests that life forms can move from planet to planet by 'hitching rides' on meteors.

Global Study Shows Over Half Of Earth's Vital Signs At Record Extremes
A global team of scientists has shown in a new study that 20 of the Earth's 35 vital signs have "worsened beyond anything humans have seen, to the point that life on Earth is imperilled".

Tentative Evidence of Life Found On Faraway Planet, Says NASA
The space agency announced that its examination of the planet's atmospheric composition indicated the potential existence of an oceanic world.

Expedition 67 Crew Conducts Experiments Aboard ISS That Could Benefit Astronauts, Humans on Earth
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are conducting biology experiments aimed at studying how skin heals in space. The study could benefit both astronauts in space, and human life on Earth. The US space agency's Expedition 67 mission began in March this year and is aimed at conducting research and investigations that will facilitate h...

Chinese Astronomers Report Signals Detected From Life Beyond Earth, Delete Their Claims Later
It was previously reported that the China's giant Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) measuring five hundred metres has picked up weird signals. The astronomers fom the Beijing Normal University made the claims of discovering “several cases of possible technological traces and extraterrestrial civilisations from outside the Earth.” Howeve...

China Says It May Have Detected Signs Of Life Beyond Earth
China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of life beyond Earth, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.
