Astronomers unveil first direct image of young exoplanet just 63 light-years away
An international team of researchers has recently obtained the first direct image of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris c (B Pic c), confirming its existence since its indirect discovery in 2019. The “baby” exoplanet, which is estimated to be around 18 million years old, is the second planet known to orbit the star Beta Pictoris. The star […]

Scientists identify 24 exoplanets that may be more habitable than Earth
Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have uncovered two dozen exoplanets that may be better at supporting life than Earth. Exoplanets, celestial bodies that orbit a star other than the sun, are found everywhere in the cosmos. Some of them are located in the orbital region around a star, called the liquid water habitable zone, where planets could have stable atmospheres […]

Researchers develop device that can better detect signs of extraterrestrial life
A group of researchers has developed a fully automated device that could better detect signs of alien life. Astronomers have been trying to look for evidence of extraterrestrial life for decades. They typically use detection methods that look for carbon, which is an important component of organic compounds. But current technologies are limited; some devices can’t […]

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth
Earth was pummeled by three separate series of intense gamma-ray flares in the last 40 years. While scientists agree that magnetars, a type of neutron star, were behind the flares, the mechanism that unleashed those waves of energy remains unknown. A recent study offers a compelling theory to what that mechanism is. Researchers from the University of […]

Model for plasma flow on the Sun reveals secrets behind sunspots and other solar phenomena
Scientists have studied the Sun for a long time. But solar phenomena such as sunspots have remained a mystery. Researchers from the University of Washington attempted to solve the puzzle by creating a model of the Sun’s plasma flow. They showed that a thin layer beneath its surface plays a vital role in the formation of sunspots and other solar features. This […]

Scientists use nanoparticles as an alternative propulsion method for small spacecraft
Propellant is one of the most important things that any spacecraft needs to carry – without it, a spacecraft will be unable to move or change course. This is why spacecraft tend to carry a lot of it on board. Carrying propellant, however, brings its own set of problems. Not only is the chemical highly flammable, […]

Shapeshifting robots straight out of sci-fi can be used to explore volcanoes and caves on Titan, Saturn’s moon
Engineers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have found a way to help scientists gain access to worlds located in the depths of outer space: the Shapeshifter robot. Currently being tested in a robotics yard at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California, the current Shapeshifter prototype, according to its engineers, can split […]

Cradles of life? New research says oceans on exoplanets may harbor more life than Earth
A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that oceans on exoplanets may be more hospitable than those on Earth. Scientists traditionally detect which exoplanet is potentially habitable by looking for conditions that closely mimic those on Earth. However, exoplanets that greatly vary from the Earth in terms of conditions such as ocean salinity may, in fact, be more primed […]

Rare meteorites from Mars bring scientists closer to unlocking its secrets
An international team of researchers is trying to unravel the origins of two meteorites that came from Mars – a discovery that may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the red planet. Current data and resources are insufficient for researchers to pinpoint the exact source of the meteorites – nakhlites that were separately found in 1931 in Indiana […]

Scientists discover evidence that large and deep rivers flowed through Mars billions of years ago
Astronomers from the University of Utrecht (UU) in the Netherlands looked at high resolution images of Mars gathered from orbiters and uncovered evidence that the red planet once had a river that flowed across its surface for more than 100,000 years. They believe that the rivers “continuously shifted their gullies, creating sandbanks, similar to the Rhine or the rivers […]
