The curious minds at What If explore what would happen if Kepler 22-b suddenly appeared in our solar system, revealing the gravitational, orbital, and planetary chaos that would follow.

NASA has explored the space beyond Earth and our solar system with spacecraft like Voyagers 1 and 2, and how we’ve discovered ...

With Area 51 ruled out by President Obama, where might aliens really be hiding? Scientists have now revealed the best candidates.

Computer simulations suggest NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory could detect Earth-like exomoons around gas giant exoplanets through reflected starlight and lunar eclipses.

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

NASA has developed ExoMiner++, an AI tool that speeds up the search for exoplanets by analysing massive datasets from Kepler and TESS. The system helps scientists quickly identify promising planets.

The similarities are astonishing. And yet... The post NASA Telescope Discovers Nearby Planet With Deep Similarities to Earth appeared first on Futurism.

SIGNS of an alien planet that’s about the same size as Earth have been picked by up a Nasa telescope. Scientists say it might ...

A newly identified planet candidate, HD 137010 b, looks strikingly Earth-like in size and orbit — but it may be colder than Mars due to its dimmer star. If it has a thick enough atmosphere, though, ...

One group of experts now say that looking for life on water and oxygen-rich planets could be a waste of time.

They also fit into multiple priority areas identified in the new defence strategy, including marine sensors and autonomous ...
