Detecting Alien Living Worlds And Photosynthetic Life Using Imaging Polarimetry With The HWO Coronagraph
Our Earth, being the only living planet that we know, provides us with clues that photosynthetic life-forms may be dominant on other exoplanets for billions of years.
Probing The Variations Of Interstellar Dust Abundance And Properties Within And Between Galaxies With HWO UV Spectroscopy In The Local Volume
The cycle of metals between the gas and the dust phases in the neutral interstellar medium (ISM) is an integral part of the baryon cycle in galaxies.
Testing Origin-of-Life Theories with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO)
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to telescopically constrain the frequency and abundance of biospheres in the solar neighborhood.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) As An Extraterrestrial Atmospheric Technosignature
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are prevalent in the universe and interstellar medium but are primarily attributed to anthropogenic sources on Earth, such as fossil fuel combustion and firewood burning.
How NASA Citizen Science Fuels Future Exoplanet Research
NASA’s upcoming flagship astrophysics missions, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the Habitable Worlds Observatory, will study planets outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Over 5,000 exoplanets have […]
