K2-18b – Cambridge University Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they remain cautious. Using data from the James Webb

The mid-infrared transmission spectrum of K2-18 b obtained with the JWST MIRI LRS instrument. The data points with error bars (in brown) show the observed spectrum as described in section

In 2016, scientists discovered that water is released from the Moon during meteor showers. When a speck of comet debris strikes the moon, it vaporizes on impact, creating a shock

In the technique known as “environmental DNA metabarcoding,” probes are designed to target specific DNA fragments, similar to how anglers use specific bait to catch a particular species. The challenge

Detections and non-detections of pure rotational line emission of water. The continuum subtracted spectra are shown in black and the water slab models in blue. The slab model parameters are

JWST-MIRI MRS spectrum of the young J0438 disk (black). The spectrum is dominated by amorphous silicate absorption and emission bands typical of a highly inclined disk configuration. A very weak

Orbital distribution of 7,982 impacts detected by EDMOND, CAMS, GMN, FRIPON, and EFN networks. Each impact is estimated to be equal to or greater than 10 g (diameter ⪆2 cm)

GJ1061 system – exoplanets GJ1061 b, GJ1061 c, GJ1061 d — NASA/Wikipedia GJ1061 is a very nearby M star hosting three low-mass temperate planets detected from radial velocity variations. The
