Astronomers found evidence that the two exoplanets orbiting a red dwarf star are "water worlds" where water makes up a large fraction of their volume. Read the article to learn more.
Scientists identified a characteristic in red dwarf stars that might help explain the Red Sky Paradox. Read the article to know more about the said paradox and what it says about the rarity of life on Earth.
An astrophysicist is positive that life beyond the solar system will be discovered in less than three decades. Read on to know how new space instruments could help make this possible.
The first-ever exoplanets were discovered in 1992 and astronomers found them in a rapidly rotating star called a pulsar. Read the article on why they could be extraordinarily rare.
The two new planets of rocky mineral goodness are found orbiting a star that is close to the galactic neighborhood of the Solar System. Check out these new worlds in this article.
