Astronomers have discovered a strange new type of exoplanet known as a Hycean world—an ocean-covered planet with a thick ...

Astronomers have discovered a strange new world just 35 light-years from Earth – one permanently covered in a vast ocean of molten rock. The exoplanet, known as L 98-59 d, defies existing models of ...

A new study shows that stars with low magnetic activity are likely to support exoplanetary systems, making the hunt for these ...

Scientists might have just found Earth's icy, distant cousin a few hundred million light-years away. HD 137010 b is one of thousands of exoplanets, or planets that orbit other stars, and is ...

Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a star located about 83 light years away. The newfound alien world is slightly ...

Astronomers have discovered a bizarre exoplanet with a giant underground ocean of magma that traps sulphur and may represent an entirely new class of worlds.

Humans could have come from Mars, scientists have said. A study by Johns Hopkins University has found that alien microbes could travel between planets on asteroids, meaning humans could be descended ...

Not even an asteroid blast could kill it.

Beyond that, in the decades to come, we might be able to see the colours of an exoplanet’s surface, and determine if plant life might be present there. And then we can search for changes in a planet’s ...

Creating a believable alien world takes more than imagination. It requires biology, environmental logic, and evolutionary pressure. The Birrin ecosystem follows scientific rules every step of the way.

For four decades, many SETI experiments have focused on finding sharp spikes in frequency but the new study says signals may not stay narrow as they travel away from their home system.

A team of amateur citizen scientists have made a significant discovery. They found huge gigantic radio circles in the deepest ...
