Feb 20, 2020NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will observe exoplanet worlds with the goal of making the first detailed near-infrared study of the atmosphere of a habitable-zone planet. -
Feb 18, 2020Scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets. One way to search for signs of life on these worlds is to probe exoplanet atmospheres for "biosignatures" -- quirks in chemical composition that are telltale signs of life. -
Feb 13, 2020For the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic views from the Voyager mission, NASA's JPL is publishing a new version of the image known as the "Pale Blue Dot." -
Feb 11, 2020NASA is sending a new laser-toting robot to Mars. But unlike the lasers of science fiction, this one is used for studying mineralogy and chemistry from up to about 20 feet (7 meters) away. -
Feb 5, 2020Could AI deceive us as much as the human eye does in the search for extraterrestrials? Scientists propose a curious experiment to compare how human beings and machines recognize planetary images. -
Feb 4, 2020In the scorching atmosphere of exoplanet KELT-9b, even molecules are torn to shreds. -
Jan 30, 2020NESSI was built to examine the atmospheres of planets that orbit stars beyond our Sun, or exoplanets, providing new insights into what these worlds are like. -
Jan 24, 2020Detection of ammonium salts may be a further indication that comet impacts may have made life on Earth possible. -
Jan 21, 2020New study finds surface waters on early Mars may have been habitable for microbial life -
Jan 9, 2020NASA's TESS mission finds first circumbinary planet, a world orbiting two stars.
