Atmosphere survival model refines search for habitable planets
Atmosphere survival model refines search for habitable planets Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Researchers have developed the Smaller Than Earth Habitability Model (STEHM) to assess which planets can maintain life-supporting atmospheres, focusing on size and atmospheric dynamics. Since 1992, NASA has confirmed the existence of over 6,000 planets outside of our solar system, and over 7,000 suspected planets still await confirmation. These distant planets, dubbed...
'Totally counterintuitive': Scientists accidentally discover magnetic fields around 7 distant planets, opening new window in the search for life
'Totally counterintuitive': Scientists accidentally discover magnetic fields around 7 distant planets, opening new window in the search for life In an astronomical first, researchers have measured the magnetic fields of seven "hot Jupiter" planets beyond our solar system — adding new clues in the search for alien life. In a first-of-its-kind discovery, astronomers claim they have directly measured the magnetic fields of multiple planets beyond our solar system — potentially providing a...
3 bright planets light up June's night sky — Here's where and when to look
3 bright planets light up June's night sky — Here's where and when to look This is the month of the "Great Celestial Summit Meeting" between a crescent moon, three bright planets and two bright stars. The stars (Pollux and Castor) and planets (Venus, Jupiter and Mercury) will be arrayed across the west-northwest sky during the first half of the month, with the moon moving in to join them during the evenings of June 16 and June 17. The most amazing sight will be provided by Venus and Jupiter...
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury headline a stunning planet parade through June. Here's when to see it
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury headline a stunning planet parade through June. Here's when to see it The June evening sky this year is exceptionally interesting. A spectacular gathering of three planets, two bright stars, plus, later this month, a slender crescent moon, will be the chief celestial attraction in the evening sky during the next few weeks.
Don't miss this beautiful 3-planet parade after sunset on June 12 — it won't last long
Don't miss this beautiful 3-planet parade after sunset on June 12 — it won't last long Mercury, Venus and Jupiter will form a striking 3-planet parade low above the western horizon after sunset on June 12, offering a brief but beautiful show. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter align low over the western horizon after sunset, creating a satisfying mini planetary parade and a perfect astrophoto opportunity using a wide-angle lens or even just a smartphone. Even though Venus and Jupiter have drifted...
Alien Isolation 2's first trailer takes the horror to a colony planet
Alien Isolation 2's first trailer takes the horror to a colony planet The abbreviated name, "AI 2," is the scariest thing about it so far. Time works differently in space and on other planets, so the decade-plus that Alien Isolation fans have been waiting for the sequel might have felt like a blink of an eye on a different world. On terra firma, though, it's been a 12-year wait.
NASA’s Webb telescope discovers a planet where rock clouds vanish every night
A giant planet nearly 700 light-years away has a bizarre daily weather cycle where mineral clouds appear every morning and vanish by nightfall. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered that WASP-94A b’s mornings are filled with clouds made of rock-like minerals, while its evenings are surprisingly clear. The finding gave scientists their clearest look yet into the planet’s atmosphere and revealed it’s far more Jupiter-like than previously believed.
Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
May 31, 2026 report Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries Paul Arnold Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when they are active, as well as destroy anything that gets too close. But their reputation could be due for a...
The Moons of Uranus May Hold the Key to Finding Missing Planets
We have an idea of what the solar system's past was like: It was violent and chaotic. However, we are still studying how violent it was. Current models suggest that at some point after their formation, the giant planets went through a phase of such extreme instability that one or even two bodies the size of Uranus or Neptune were ejected into interstellar space.
