The planet is rocky and almost precisely the same size as Earth, but whips around its star in only two days. Researchers ...

The search for biosignatures on exoplanets got a boost of energy when the James Webb Space Telescope began observations. One of the telescope’s science objectives is to characterize exoplanet ...

Exoplanet scientists have worked on the idea of the VRE as ... It's important to look at different stages of atmospheric evolution because Earth's atmosphere changed from oxygen-poor to oxygen-rich ...
