Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought — and this implies ...

A chemical called dimethyl sulfide popped up in an analysis of exoplanet K2-18b’s atmosphere. On Earth, it’s only made by ...

Astronomers have detected molecules on exoplanet K2-18b that may have been produced by simple organisms, claiming it's the ...

If we study 50 exoplanets and are absolutely certain that there is no life on any of them, then we can refine our parameter considerably—it would then be less than 20% of planets. So we would ...

The study reviews what astronomers could learn if there’s “no life detected” in future exoplanet surveys, relying on a “Bayesian” statistical analysis to establish the minimum number of ...

What if humanity's search for life on other planets returns no hits? A team of researchers led by Dr. Daniel Angerhausen, a Physicist in Professor Sascha Quanz's Exoplanets and Habitability Group ...

The study employed a sophisticated statistical analysis to determine the minimum number of exoplanets that would need to be observed to generate useful answers about how many potentially inhabited ...
