Comparative Planetology
Comparative Planetology Science covering terrestrial planet & diverse worlds and their origin and evolution. Know about why is comparative planetology useful, comparative planetology astronomy and finding differences in planets in our solar system and beyond.

Nov 12, 2016Researchers successfully operated a new instrument, the CHARIS spectrograph, which allows them to make detailed observations of planets orbiting distant stars. -
Oct 16, 2016A new model of canyon-forming floods suggests that deep canyons can be formed in bedrock by significantly less water than previously thought. -
Sep 3, 2016Pioneering research could shed new light on the complex atmospheres of planets which orbit stars outside our own solar system. -
Aug 18, 2016New research shows that the rocky exoplanet GJ 1132b might possess a thin, oxygen atmosphere - but no life due to its extreme heat. -
Aug 15, 2016New work found that the atmospheric properties of brown dwarfs may be behind much of their differences, a discovery that may apply to exoplanets as well. -
Aug 13, 2016Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history. -
Jul 21, 2016NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has made the first spectroscopic measurements of two Earth-sized exoplanets just 40 light-years away. -
Jun 21, 2016Venus has an “electric wind” strong enough to remove the components of water from its upper atmosphere, according to new results. -
Jun 8, 2016Scientists found that a group of hot Jupiters observed with Hubble may have about half their atmospheres blocked by clouds or haze. -
May 31, 2016Researchers combine climate, orbit models to show that Kepler-62f might be able to sustain life.
