Astronomers at the University of Cambridge in England announced on April 17 that they had found the strongest evidence yet that life may exist somewhere besides Earth. Using data from NASA's James ...

Although it’s between Earth and Neptune in size, models suggest this alien world is a hot rocky planet with a thick atmosphere. It may not be the watery, hydrogen-rich “Hycean” planet some scientists ...

Would clues be traced to microfossils trapped within ancient Martian rocks, swim in waters of an ocean world, or lead to an Earth-like twin thought of as Planet B? Or perhaps a technosignature ...

Marine algae mostly produce this gas on our planet. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the team of astronomers analysed the light coming out from K2-18b, a 'sub-Neptune,' which is bigger ...

His research on a distant planet named K2-18b, located 124 light-years away, has sparked global curiosity. Professor Nikku Madhusudhan is a renowned astrophysicist and expert in exoplanetary ...

Proposed by Madhusudhan and his team in 2021, Hycean worlds are a subset of sub-Neptune planets that possess a hydrogen-rich atmosphere above a possible water ocean layer. These worlds may be more ...

The first sign of possible extraterrestrials detected in the cosmos didn't come in the form of little green aliens flying around in saucer-shaped spacecraft. In fact, the life that could be ...

“Some propose a Hycean world, others suggest a hot magma ocean — a planet with molten rock beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, which is about as inhospitable as it gets — and still others see it as a ...

A new sub-Neptune exoplanet was discovered on 4th April Andres Carmony led the team of international astronomers in the discovery The sub-Neptune weighs the size of 8.5 Earth masses ...

The two most distant planets in our solar system look more like each other than was previously thought, experts have found. Many people think of Neptune as being a rich blue colour, and Uranus ...
