New JWST data strengthens earlier hints that K2-18b, a possible water world 120 light-years away, could host the chemical ...

Slushy hailstones of ammonia and water were part of a bizarre theory to explain the planet's poorly mixed atmosphere. These mushballs seem to be real, say UC Berkeley scientists.

A new study by astronomers about distance planet K2-18b has led to what they’re calling one of the most promising sign of extraterrestrial life in the universe.

The image was published as part of the 35th anniversary celebrations of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, which was ...

Finding evidence of life in the cosmos is the “holy grail” of exoplanet science, one of the scientists said, but there is ...

In what may be the most significant clue to alien planet life yet, scientists studying K2-18b have detected two sulfur-based ...

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.

A team from the University of Cambridge made the discovery on exoplanet K2-18b, which is 124 light years away from Earth.

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have detected the presence of molecules in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b that, on Earth, are solely produced by simple life f ...

"What makes Zhúlóng stand out is just how much it resembles the Milky Way—both in shape, size and stellar mass," said the ...
