TOI 700 e: Earth-sized Planet in Habitable Zone of Its Star
January 14, 2023 | EditorsUsing data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, Scientists have discovered an exoplanet roughly the size of Earth orbiting around a faraway star — within the habitable zone, meaning it could host liquid water on its surface. Read More
Stephenson 2-18 The Largest Star Ever Discovered
September 12, 2021 | EditorsStars have always been part of civilizations. In Ancient Times, we relied upon the apparent motion of these bodies to navigate distances, to measure the passage of time therefore determining seasons, months, and years. Simply, stars are the very reason we exist. We are literally made up of “stardust”. Read More
Proxima Centauri c: Nearest Super-Earth World To Us
June 30, 2020 | EditorsScientists have announced the discovery of a second Exoworld orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest stellar neighbor to our Sun, a super-Earth highly significant for planet formation models. Read More
Hunting Extraterrestrial Life On Exomoons
June 8, 2016 | EditorsIn the past two decades, astronomers have detected more than 2000 exoplanets, the first of these detections were gas giants as massive as Jupiter that are so close to the host that they are heated to high temperature in order of 2,000°C; but now, for the first time, astronomers are getting down to the regime of potentially habitable Earth-like worlds.

The Promise of Kepler-62f: A Distant Earth-like World
May 30, 2016 | EditorsOn April 18, 2013, NASA’ astronomers announced the discovery of a new planetary system composed of five worlds orbiting a star somewhat cooler and smaller than the Sun, approximately 1,200 light-years away from us in the constellation Lyra. Read More
Gliese 581d: Earth-like World Within Our Reach
May 25, 2016 | Editors 1NASA astronomers said they’ve discovered a planet that they believe has a 100% chance of having life on it and its relatively close to us, just in our cosmic neighborhood — meet Gliese 581d. Read More
Kepler have Found 1284 Alien Planets, 9 In the Habitable Zone
May 11, 2016 | EditorsOn Tuesday evening, NASA held an extraordinary press conference announcing Kepler’ last results on exoplanets research: amazingly, the number of known alien planets has just gone up by more than 60%. Read More
Meet HAT-P-11b A Neptune Like World with Extreme Weather
May 5, 2016 | EditorsWeather here on Earth can be really nasty, but on distant worlds, the atmospheric conditions can be extreme, far beyond anything we saw or imagine. Here’s why you should not go to HAT-P-11b. Read More
Nearby Three Earth Like Planets Discovered
May 4, 2016 | Editors 2Our biggest challenge is to find potential life-bearing worlds among the stars. Discovering a planet that are not just Earth-sized, but truly Earth-like will mark a milestone in astronomy and beyond. Read More
Crazy Technologies To Better Find Distant Earth like Planets
April 30, 2016 | EditorsFinding a true Earth analog orbiting within the habitable zone of a sun-like star is a sort of holy grail to astronomers and we are about to get a lot closer to detect one in the near future as new incredible inventions and technologies are available to us now. Read More
NASA Hubble Telescope Spots A Makemake Moon
April 29, 2016 | EditorsOur solar system is a huge place, it’s true edge stretches far beyond the Kuiper belt. Maybe, you are familiar with Pluto, the demoted planet and the most famous dwarf planet within the Kuiper belt, but there are too many objects beyond it; actually, there are dwarf planets larger than Pluto residing there.
