A nearby “super-Earth” exoplanet was recently discovered just 137 light-years away from Earth, prompting scientists to dig deeper into if it has the conditions to sustain life, NASA announced. The planet, dubbed TOI-715 b, is about one and a half times as wide as Earth and orbits within a conservative “habitable zone” around its parent… […]

August 7th, 2020 Awake Goy Taking advantage of a total lunar eclipse, astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have detected Earth’s own brand of sunscreen — ozone — in our atmosphere. This method simulates how astronomers and astrobiology researchers will search for evidence of life beyond Earth by observing potential “biosignatures” on exoplanets (planets around other stars). Hubble did not […]
