The curious minds at What If detail the terrifying findings scientists made on a planet eerily similar to Earth.

So far, most confirmed exoplanets are large and close to their stars, simply because they’re easier to detect. Earth-like planets are often too faint and too far out. But with smarter tools like ...

Astronomers are using powerful space telescopes to look for molecular indicators of biology in the atmospheres of the most Earth-like of these planets. But so far, no solid evidence of life has ...

planets with wider paths can be difficult to detect. Still, researchers estimated that for every three stars, there should be at least one super-Earth present with a Jupiter-like orbital period ...

Artificial intelligence is transforming the search for alien life with new tools that detect UAPs and identify Earth-like exoplanets across the galaxy.

the team calculated that there should be around 0.35 super-Earth planets per star on wide Jupiter-like orbits. Yee explained that the overall distribution of planetary mass ratios could reflect ...

Scientists have found new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life. A Cambridge ...

Ah, Earth. We may not think about our planet on ... with most communities sitting on the coastline. 40. Earth used to be purple...apparently. Some experts—like Shil DasSarma—believe that ...

New scientific models and telescope observations from 2024 and 2025 reveal how comet and asteroid impacts can change atmospheres on Earth-like exoplanets ... Unlike most molecular clouds, Eos ...

And as it decays, it is leaving behind a tail of matter like a comet ... only four disintegrating planets ever discovered, and it is the closest of these to the Earth, so researchers want to ...

The planet is "crumbling to pieces," shedding the equivalent of Mount Everest’s mass every 30.5-hour orbit and will be ...
