Astronomers have found a potential sign of life high up in the atmosphere of neighboring Venus – hinting that there may be strange microbes living in sulfuric acid-laden clouds on the greenhouse planet. Two telescopes in Hawaii and Chile detected in the dense Venetian clouds the chemical signature of phosphine, …

[ad_1] The models, hypotheses and laboratory experiments of exoplanet researchers are a test bed to question what is possible. Between searching for strange exoplanets, some so strange compared to our own solar system, many researchers focus on one key phrase: “potentially habitable.” The exoplanets referred to as potentially habitable show …

[ad_1] (Photo: Štefan Štefančík photo on Unsplash) Scientists have detected radio signals from outer space. Astronomers have detected a radio signal from the Milky Way. The signal obtained is called fast radio burst, which lasts milliseconds and comes from the depths of outer space. Because the radio signal was so …

[ad_1] New York: The next generation of powerful Earth- and space-based telescopes will be able to hunt distant solar systems for evidence of life on Earth-like exoplanets – particularly those that chaperone burned-out stars known as white dwarfs. The chemical properties of those far-off worlds could indicate that life exists …

[ad_1] Astronomers at the University of Geneva with colleagues from the Swiss PlanetS Institute during the new observations found a space system, consisting of six exoplanets. Now he found a total of 10 similar objects. Scientists observed star HD 158259, located at a distance of 88 light years from Earth, …

[ad_1] Scientists, at first, have completely mapped the surface of the Moon. The radiant geological map has been published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in collaboration with NASA and the Planetary Lunar Institute. Want an in-depth look at the 4.5 billion year history of Earth’s closest neighbor? Well …
