Scientists are rethinking how to detect alien life by focusing on planets vastly different from Earth. Instead of searching ...

Now, a group of researchers is proposing a novel approach using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a collaboration ...

HUNTING for aliens is now a little easier as scientists discover a new sign that gives away life on far-off planets.

Alien life could be hiding in gases, researchers have said. We could find extraterrestrial beings in gas on faraway planets ...

These gases — composed of carbon, hydrogen, and a halogen, like chlorine — are mostly made by bacteria, algae, fungi, and ...

Earth may have cooled during a close encounter with dense star clouds. Interstellar dust from the Orion region might have shaped our ancient climate.

Scientists discovered that methyl halides, a gas produced by microbes, could be a biosignature for life on distant planets.

Scientists have identified a promising new way to detect life on faraway planets, hinging on worlds that look nothing like Earth and gases rarely ...
