The Statistical-likelihood Exoplanetary Habitability Index (SEPHI) serves as a valuable tool for prioritizing targets for further study and identifying potentially habitable environments.
We investigate the melt production of planetary impacts as a function of planet size (R/REarth=0.1-1.5), impactor size (L=1-1000 km), and core size ratio (Rcore/R=0.2-0.8) using a combination of parameterized convection […]
We present a comprehensive multivariate statistical analysis of 517 exoplanets from the NASA Exoplanet Archive to identify potentially habitable worlds and quantify detection bias in current surveys.
New research by an international team of oceanographers has found that ocean acidification has significantly compromised 40% of the global surface ocean, and 60% of the subsurface ocean to a […]
New research from the University of California, Davis, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Texas A&M University reveals that massive emissions, or burps, of carbon dioxide from natural earth systems […]
Today, at the Living Planet Symposium, ESA revealed the first stunning images from its groundbreaking Biomass satellite mission – marking a major leap forward in our ability to understand how […]
Editor’s note: As you have probably heard by now the elements that compose Earth and all of the life on it came from the stars. Meteorites from comets and asteroids […]
For 540 million years, the ebb and flow in the strength of Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released analysis by NASA […]
When the Earth froze over, where did life shelter? MIT scientists say one refuge may have been pools of melted ice that dotted the planet’s icy surface.
The Milky Way appears beyond Earth’s horizon in this celestial photograph captured by NASA astronaut Don Pettit using a camera with low light and long duration settings pointed out a […]
