  • Finding An Ocean On An Exoplanet Would Be Huge and the Habitable Worlds Observatory Could Do It
    The search for habitable exoplanets boils down to the search for water. Exoplanet scientists lack the technological capability to detect surface water on exoplanets from great distances, so instead they can only search for planets in habitable zones where surface water is likely. But what if we could directly detect... Read more »
  • NASA's Future Telescope Could Solve the Mystery of Life's Origins
    A team of scientists are preparing to use NASA's upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory to answer one of the most profound questions of all time: How does life begin? Rather than searching for individual signs of life, the team plan to study patterns across dozens of exoplanets to test competing theories... Read more »
  • This Planet Makes Its Star Flare and the Planet Suffers Because Of It
    Astronomers have discovered hundreds of exoplanets on extremely short orbits of less than 10 days. Our Solar System has nothing like this, and these planets are so close to their stars that they can disrupt the stars' magnetic fields. Scientists think this can induce stellar flaring, and researchers have detected... Read more »
  • How Your Flight Home Could Be Broadcasting Earth's Location to Aliens.

I must apologise now as I pack for a flight out to Mexico in a few days! The new research reveals that airport radar systems from Heathrow to JFK are unintentionally... Read more »
  • Giant Liquid Mirrors Could Revolutionise the Hunt for Habitable Worlds
    A team of researchers has cracked the code for building space telescopes with mirrors the size of a soccer field, not from perfectly figured glass, but from liquid floating in zero gravity! The new research reveals how a 50-metre liquid mirror telescope could maintain its optical quality for decades despite... Read more »
  • Two Powerful Space Telescopes are Better Than One
    When the JWST was being built, some labelled it as the Hubble's successor. In some ways it is, even though the Hubble is still performing important science observations. When the two telescopes team up, we get the best of both.... Read more »
  • Celebrate the JWST's Third Anniversary With This Stunning Image
    It's crazy to think that the JWST has already been working for three years. It's repeatedly impressed us not only with its powerful science observations, but also with stunning images that capture our interest even if we didn't know what we were seeing. Now, the telescope is celebrating its third... Read more »
