TRAPPIST-1 Could Have Lower Number of Habitable Planets, New Webb Data Suggests
New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggests an exoplanet with once-promising potential for life shows no signs of having a thick atmosphere.
Solar Flares Might Actually Increase Habitability of Trappist-1 Exoplanets
A new study claims solar flares may actually make the planets in Trappist-1's habitability zone even more habitable than first thought. Teams using the James Webb Space Telescope are planning to search those same planets for chemical traces of extraterrestrial life, called 'biosignatures,' in their atmospheres.
Astronomers Just Discovered a Pair of New Potentially Habitable Planets
Scientists from the University of Birmingham say they have discovered a pair of potentially habitable planets outside of our solar system.
