Summary: Climate models used by the United Kingdom Met Office to study Earth's weather are now being adapted to help scientists understand space weather and the atmospheres of extrasolar planets.
A Planetary System from the Early Universe
Topic: New Planets
04/03/12
Summary: Astronomers have discovered an ancient planetary system that could be a survivor from 13 billion years ago.
Billions of Habitable Zone Rocky Planets Could be Orbiting Red Dwarf Stars
Topic: New Planets

Summary: New research shows that rocky planets not much bigger than Earth could be very common in the habitable zones of faint, red stars.
Super Earth Unlikely to Transfer Life
Topic: New Planets
03/23/12
Summary: The "super-Earth" planet in the Gliese 581 system may be suitable for life as we know it. However, a new study shows that it is unlikely that life on this planet could be transferred to other planets in the Gliese 581 system.
Star-Combing for Earth-Like Planets
Topic: New Planets
03/11/12
Summary: Scientists are studying how a new laser frequency comb might boost the search for Earth-like planets. The comb precisely measures frequencies of light and has been used for the first time to calibrate measurements of starlight from distant stars.
