Earth-Like Exoplanets More Common Across The Cosmos: Study
The findings in the study were made via microlensing, an observational effect that occurs when the presence of mass warps the fabric of space-time to a detectable degree.

Super Earths are Quite Common Outside the Solar System, New Study Reveals
Using the microlensing technique, KMTNet studied the exoplanet, which is twice as big as Earth, yet smaller than Neptune. It is believed that there are more such super-Earths outside our solar system. It is common to have such planets orbiting their stars.

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’s Mantle Could Be Harbouring Ocean of Magma Formed Billions of Years Ago, Claims Study
The study conducted by Boukaré and published on March 26 in the Journal Nature suggests that this molten layer at the core-mantle boundary of the Earth formed the internal thermal structure of the planet and tectonic plates. This may still influence the geochemical process of the Earth today. Further, it suggests a similar magma ocean existence on...
