The moon has plenty of water, according to new study

Astronomers and experts in other fields have been studying the moon closely for several decades now. Now a new study, which was published in the journal Nature Geoscience, shows that previous assumptions about the water content of the moon may be flat-out wrong. Instead of having water in certain regions or types of terrains, the […]

The radiation from red dwarf stars makes life on their planets improbable

In the search for other habitable planets in the galaxy besides Earth, astronomers have suggested that a closer look at red dwarf stars might be productive. Red dwarfs are, comparatively, much smaller and shine a lot less brighter than our own sun. But they are plentiful, as they make up about 75 percent of the […]
