We've Never Been Closer to Finding Life Outside Our Solar System

JWST may soon help detect signs of extraterrestrial life, focusing on rocky exoplanets in habitable zones.

Extraterrestrial life may look nothing like life on Earth so astrobiologists are coming up with a framework to study how complex systems evolve

The search for extraterrestrial life challenges scientists to define what life is, complicating efforts to identify it beyond Earth.

The possibility of life on other planets is more likely than we know

Astrobiology is on the verge of revolutionary discoveries that suggest life exists beyond Earth, not if, but when.

The key to detecting life trillions of miles away from Earth

Discovery of significant sub-surface water on Mars has implications for future life search, but the water is deeply buried, complicating access.

Astrobiologist Nathalie Cabrol: I believe Mars still has some big surprises for us'

Nathalie Cabrol's extensive work explores life adaptation in extreme environments analogous to other planets.

Nearby Habitable-Zone Exoplanet May Be a World of Fire and Ice

HD 20794 d is an intriguing exoplanet within our galactic vicinity, with potential habitability due to its unique orbit.

This 'super-Earth' may offer insights into the diversity of planetary systems and conditions conducive to life.

More water worlds than we thought might support life

Excess water on an exoplanet could inhibit the development of life, but deeper water may enable habitability despite high-pressure conditions.

New understandings of planetary formation suggest that exoplanets might be more complex in their water distribution than previously thought.

Why the European Space Agency should join the US mission to Uranus

The Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission aims to explore Uranus, its moons, and ice giant characteristics, essential for understanding planetary formation and evolution.
