So far, astronomers have no confirmed detections of planets outside our Galaxy. Today’s paper searches for planets of extragalactic origin, from a dwarf galaxy that has since merged into the Milky Way halo.
Following yesterday’s release of the First JWST Deep Field, more images from JWST’s first release were shared today. Today’s bite takes a look at the five targets and their histories.
The American Indian Culture and Research Journal’s special issue “Settler Science, Alien Contact, and Searches for Intelligence” explores the importance of indigenous and interdisciplinary perspectives in SETI and space sciences.
Which exoplanets are the most worthwhile to search for life on? Today’s paper explores the “continuous habitable zone” as an important criterion for atmospheric characterization target selection.
K2-290A’s two close-in planets’ orbits are retrograde relative to the star’s rotation. Today’s paper explores how dynamical interactions in the triple star system may have caused this misalignment.
