New 'Quasi-Moon' Discovered in Earth Orbit May Have Been Hiding There for Decades
Astronomers have identified asteroid 2025 PN7 as a possible quasi-moon of Earth, trailing our planet for nearly 70 years. At just 62 feet wide, it is the smallest and least stable quasi-satellite detected so far. Researchers believe advanced observatories like the Vera Rubin Observatory could uncover more hidden companions in Earth-like orbits

Quantum Tech Could Finally Let Astronomers Snap Direct Images of Earth-Like Exoplanets
Astronomers are harnessing quantum mechanics to build a coronagraph that could directly image Earth-like exoplanets previously obscured by stellar glare. By sorting light waves at the photon level, the device bypasses traditional diffraction limits, revealing faint planetary signals. This breakthrough may redefine how scientists explore distant wor...

Space Research Reveals How Icy Comets and Asteroids Could Reshape Earth-Like Planets
New scientific models and telescope observations from 2024 and 2025 reveal how comet and asteroid impacts can change atmospheres on Earth-like exoplanets, potentially supporting life or triggering climate disruption.

Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...

Earth-Like Planets Might Be Present In Universe, Study Suggests
There's no denying the fact that Earth is the only habitable planet and one of its kind, but according to new evidence there may be numerous Earth-like planets in the universe.

'We Are Probably Not Alone': NASA Finds 10 'Earth-Like' Worlds
Astronomers using the Kepler space telescope have detected 219 possible new exoplanets in our galaxy, including 10 relatively small, rocky and possibly habitable planets similar to our own, NASA announced Monday.

Newly Found 'Super-Earth' May Be Best Bet To Hunt For Aliens
Scientists have discovered a new Earth-like planet orbiting a red dwarf star about 40 light- years away, which may be the best place yet to look for signs of life beyond the solar system.
