It turns out, such a planet could be quite hospitable if located at the right distance from its twostars, and wouldn't necessarily even have deserts. In a particular range of distances from two sun-like host stars, a planet covered in water would remain habitable and retain its water for ...

But, according to a Max Planck Society press release, it looks like a strong candidate — so much so that they explicitly call it a "mirror image" of our Earth and Sun. Sweet Spot The Earth-like exoplanet is one of the worlds orbiting the star Kepler-160, which is about 3,000 ...

The ESA/NASA SOHOsolar observatoryenjoys an alternative view of our parent star, staring at the sun since 1995 from a vantage position – orbiting the first Lagrange point (L1) some 1.5 million kilometres from Earth towards the sun. Over the years, SOHO has been monitoring the surface and st...
Everything to know about the James Webb Space Telescope The telescope was developed by NASA in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). Launched in December 2021, Webb is orbiting the Sun at a distance of 1.6 million kilometres from the Earth...
Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became so hot and dense that it eventually initiated nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process. The Sun ...

Distant worlds: typical exoplanets orbiting around a sun-like star are about the size of Neptune and are in orbithabitable zone (third picture from above). Almost all of the Earth-sized planets known to have potentially Earth-like surface temperatures are in orbit around red dwarf stars, which...
