A new exoplanet model screens rocky worlds by their ability to retain atmospheres over geologic timescales, helping narrow the search for potentially habitable planets beyond Earth. When you purchase ...

An enormous world orbiting a sun-like star just 57 light-years away in space may have a pink hue and a sky filled with clouds of salt. "Distant object" is about as precise of a label as it gets for ...

Using the Keck Observatory, astronomers measured the spins of dozens of giant planets and brown dwarfs orbiting distant stars. They found that giant planets can spin faster than much more massive ...

12 years is a long wait to play the sequel to one of your favourite games of all time. During that decade-plus stretch, I’ve re-played the original Alien: Isolation multiple times, analysed its ...

Are humans alone in the universe? The answer is more complicated than science fiction might suggest. Scientists have discovered billions upon billions of potentially habitable planets. But if life is ...
