Life finds a way (even on M dwarfs?)
M dwarfs are known to be really active when they’re young, which is bad for habitability. But what about old M dwarfs?
The TESS Mission’s First Earth-Like Planet Found in an Interesting Trio
The TESS mission has found an Earth-like planet in the habitable zone of its star, but the question of how the system formed is baffling astronomers.
Extinction events from giant space explosions: a cosmological perspective
Supernovae and Gamma Ray Bursts are expected to wipe out any complex life in the neighborhood. Today’s paper looks at how common these events are in different galaxies over time.
Strength in numbers: a smarter way to find habitable worlds
In today’s paper, we will see how Kepler-like large scale surveys on planet habitability is the smartest way to answer The Big Question.
16th Century Statisticians and Alien Oceans
In today’s bite, we push Bayes’ theorem to the limits, in an attempt to make predictions about the prevalence of habitable planets covered in ocean.
A Volcanic Hydrogen Habitable Zone
Can volcanoes expand the region around the star in which life can survive?
