Rocky, Earth-like planets orbiting our closest stars could host life, according to a new study that raises the excitement about exoplanets.
10 times brighter than any flares from our Sun.
A FARAWAY world is steaming. Astronomers have found water vapour in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called 51 Pegasi b — and achieved the feat using a brand new technique.
A proposed project would send soap-size spacecraft to orbit Proxima Centauri, offering enough time to study the star’s intriguing world.
A newly proposed technique could make it possible to search for life on alien planets much sooner than scientists had expected.
Scientists are making preparations to send a transmission to Proxima b – the closest Earth-like exoplanet to our Solar System.
A rocky planet discovered in the “habitable” zone of the star nearest our Sun may be covered with oceans, researchers at France’s CNRS research institute said Thursday.
Proxima b is a planet that could be habitable, but we won’t know for sure until we can actually see it.
