A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.

When evaluating possible planets out of the thousands out there, explained Prof. Bean, scientists look for liquid water as a main guiding principle. “All life on Earth needs liquid water, no matter ...

Astronomers have discovered 3I/ATLAS, a potentially 7-billion-year-old comet, believed to carry secrets from before the solar system's inception.

Interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS could serve as seeds for giant planet formation, potentially explaining how massive planets form around distant stars, according to BBC and Pfalzner’s research.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is drawing global attention for its mysterious path through our solar system, offering rare insights into objects originating beyond the Sun’s gravitational reach.

Tests on olivine hint that water-rich exoplanets could generate H2O internally, possibly explaining ocean worlds and even some of Earth’s early water.
