Good Morning, Earth! – NASA

Hot Jupiters are some of the most extreme planets in the universe, blazing gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn that exist so close to their stars that they complete orbits in a matter of days. Now, new research may rewrite the definition of these planets that make the solar system look a little bit mundane….

Astronomers thought JWST might find signs of life. Now they have a new plan. Despite astronomers’ hopes, the James Webb Space Telescope’s observations haven’t uncovered any exoplanets with Earth-like conditions or signs of life. The latest article from Science Editor Asa Stahl explores why this may be, and what’s next in the hunt for life beyond our…

  Space telescopes have played a crucial role in Space-Missions since their inception. These advanced instruments are specifically designed to capture images and collect data from the vast expanse of the universe, enabling scientists to gain insights into the cosmos that were previously inaccessible. Unlike ground-based telescopes, space telescopes are situated in orbit around the Earth, above the Earth’s atmosphere,…

Exoplanet atmospheres have become prima targets for astrobiologists in the search for life beyond Earth. This is because exoplanet surfaces can’t be directly imaged yet, so astronomers must get creative with how to search for signs of life, also called biosignatures. Presently, powerful ground- and space-based telescopes like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and…
