Planets which are tilted on their axis, like Earth, are more capable of evolving complex life. This finding will help scientists refine the search for more advanced life on exoplanets.
An international collaboration of astronomers has detected the hydroxyl molecule common on Earth in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-33b, or also called "ultra-hot Jupiter."
In the ongoing search for the next habitable body, one of the candidates is Titan, Saturn's largest moon. A new study recreates its atmosphere in a lab.
Astronomers discovered two strange objects orbiting each other. The cosmic curiosities, named OPH 98, turned out to be "failed stars" orbiting each other.
Astronomers found a planetary system including six planets, and it's not quite like anything they've seen before. Will it change the theories of how planets form?
