He said evidence of solar energy usage could be discovered by the presence of light waves that could bereflectingoff solar panels. The researchers will attempt to identify where these waves might appear to help in the search for technosignatures. ...
"Information about a planet’s interior gives us a sense of whether the surface of the planet is habitable by life as we know it," Kane explained. "Though this particular planet is unlikely to be inhabited today, it may be a harbinger of a many rocky worlds yet to be disco...
Improvements in space technology have led to the discovery of many new planets that researchers want to study. Since 1995, scientists have discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets. These are planets that orbit a star outside the solar system. Some exoplanets have already been identified as having ...

Uranus was discovered in 1781 by the German-born British astronomer (and musician) Sir William Herschel. Herschel named the planet “George’s Star” after Britain’s King George III. The grateful king awarded Herschel a stipend. But astronomers soon referred to the planet as “Uranus,” naming...
Aurora alert: Powerful geomagnetic storm could spark northern lights as far south as Illinois tonight and tomorrow 'Mathematically perfect' star system discovered 105 light-years from Earth may still be in its infancy. Could that change its prospects for life? New flexible 'metamaterial' inspired by...
NASA scientists have discovered a new way to use satellites to measure what's occurring inside Earth's land plants at a cellular level. During photosynthesis, plants emit what is called fluorescence - a form of light invisible to the naked eye but detectable by satellites orbiting hundreds of ...
NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of the remnants of former Tropical Storm Tara after it dissipated near the coast of western Mexico's Jalisco state. Jalisco is a western Mexican state along the Eastern Pacific Ocean. On Oct. 16 the high terrain of Mexico caused Tara'ssurface...
