The more astronomers look for other worlds, the more they find that it is a crowded and crazy cosmos. They think planets easily outnumber stars in...
The news that there are now estimated to be 1.6 planets, on average, for each star in the Milky Way did not really surprise me. In the past few...
The search for life is largely limited to the search for water - we look for exoplanets at the correct distance from their stars for liquid water...
Share | Astronomers may soon be able to detect volcanic activity on planets outside our Solar System, providing further insight into 'Earth-like' alien worlds, according to a recent paper.. "Measuring volcanic activity can be just one new tool in our near-term toolbox, along ...
U.S. scientists studying planets outside the solar system say they think they could spot volcanoes on the distant worlds by their atmospheric signature. Although astronomers are at least a decade away from being able to capture images of the surface of ...
A recent study by members of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has been getting a lot of attention - one where it was suggested that we are very close to the ability to detect volcanic eruptions on extrasolar (not in our solar system ...
Astronomers may be able to detect volcanic eruptions on Earth-like alien planets, a new study suggests. "Our first sniffs of volcanoes from an alien Earth might be pretty rank," study co-author Lisa Kaltenegger, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass ...
Volcanoes display the awesome power of Nature like few other events. " "You would need something truly earthshaking, an eruption that dumped a lot of gases into the atmosphere," said Smithsonian astronomer Lisa Kaltenegger. To examine which volcanic gases might be detectable, Kaltenegger ...
Volcanic eruptions on Earth-like alien planets might be detectable. "Our first sniffs of volcanoes from an alien Earth might be pretty rank," said study co-author Lisa Kaltenegger, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass.. The eruption would have to be ...
Share | Habitable alien moons such as 'Pandora' - the world featured in the blockbuster film Avatar - could be detectable within a decade, says a new study. "If Pandora existed, we potentially could detect it and study its atmosphere in the next decade," said ...
