Discover how new James Webb Telescope observations reveal that planet-forming disks around low-mass stars can persist far beyond previous expectations, offering fresh insights into planetary formation and habitability.

Imagine a world where rivers vaporize into screaming storms each morning, only to freeze into glass-like plains by nightfall. Astronomers have discovered TOI-715b—a super-Earth caught in a gravitational waltz so extreme, it redefines what “habitable” even means. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the cutting edge of cosmic reality.

Scientists have uncovered a novel chemical reaction that produces oxygen in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres, potentially refining the search for life on exoplanets.

A groundbreaking study suggests that technosignatures from extraterrestrial civilizations might be identified through their use of nuclear energy. Scientists propose that the byproducts of nuclear power could serve as detectable markers of advanced alien technology.
