New Habitability Model Helps Identify Which Alien Planets Might Be Able to Host Life
A NASA-developed model now enables scientists to estimate the likelihood of life on distant planets or moons using limited and uncertain remote-sensing data. By comparing habitat conditions with known lifeforms or hypothetical organisms, the framework offers a probabilistic tool to assess alien environments and improve telescope targeting in the on...

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.

James Webb Telescope Detects Frozen Water In Young Star System For The First Time
This finding has opened up new avenues for understanding the early universe and the origins of water on our planet

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...

Scientists Reportedly Found a Potential Sign of Life on a Distant Planet: What You Need to Know
The expert team of scientists from the University of Cambridge, UK, has made a shocking statement by claiming that there are signs of life at a distant planet, K2- 18 b. The scientists have discovered DMS and DMDS molecules in the plant’s atmosphere. However, the claims are being questioned worldwide.

New Research Suggests Possible Signs Of Life On Exoplanet K2-18b
What do you think of when it comes to extra terrestrial life? Most popular sci-fi books and TV shows suggest humanoid beings could live on other planets

NASA Curiosity Rover Potentially Deciphers Mars’ Missing Carbonate Mystery
NASA’s Curiosity rover potentially ended the mystery of the ancient atmosphere and missing carbonates. The research uncovers the potential reasons behind the temperature of the planet Mars and how it has supported the liquid water on the planet. Explore the findings and the discoveries made by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

Bizzare 'Failed Star' Planet Orbiting Double Star System in Milky Way Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet 90 degrees tilted around a special pair of eclipsing brown dwarfs. This uncommon "polar planet" challenges accepted wisdom on planet creation by presenting new insights on the dynamics of binary stars and the range of Milky Way planetary orbits.

Ants In House? Here's How They Get Everywhere, Even In Tall Buildings
Tropical Australia in particular is a global hotspot for ant diversity. Some researchers believe it could hold some of the richest ant biodiversity on the planet, with an estimated 5,000 species in the tropics alone.

New Study Challenges Claims of Vast Underground Water on Mars
Mars’ water history remains a mystery as new research questions the claim that vast amounts of water are stored beneath its surface. A study led by Bruce Jakosky argues that previous estimates of Mars’ mid-crust being saturated with liquid water may be inaccurate. The findings challenge earlier interpretations of seismic data from NASA’s InSi...

Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

Mysterious Planetary-Mass Objects May Form in Young Star System Clashes
Recent research challenges traditional views on planetary-mass objects, suggesting they may form through violent interactions between young star systems rather than standard planetary or stellar processes. Simulations indicate these clashes create dense gas filaments that evolve into free-floating objects, often in binary pairs. This discovery expl...

A Fourth 'Mysterious' Form Of Water That Could Form On Alien Planets Observed
Even the icy planets in our solar system such as Neptune, Uranus or Jupiter's moon Europa, might have harboured plastic ice VII.
