The search for Earth-like, potentially habitable planets and biosignatures as part of the Kepler mission or using the James Webb Space Telescope is discussed.Sing, DavidAviation Week & Space Technology
An international research team with members from ETH has developed a new method for directly imaging smaller planets in the habitable zone of a neighboring star system. This opens up new possibilities in the search for extraterrestrial life. In the search for planets capable of sustaining life, an...

"The crux of the institute is the characterization of rocky, Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars," Kaltenergger said. "It's a very interdisciplinary effort with people from astronomy, geology, atmospheric modeling, and hopefully biology." She added: "One of the goal is ...
Why should the possibility of planetary engineering (the artificial alteration of the physical and biological conditions of a planet or moon with the ultimate goal of making it habitable for Earth life forms) be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it's a...

The reason our search for planets like our own has found limited results is that we're looking a few billion years too early.
Super-Earths The term 'Super-Earths' refers to exoplanets that are bigger than Earth, by a factor of maybe three or four or more but are not as big asNeptune. The planets can be either rocky or gas giants. They can be in the Goldilocks Zone and harbour life. As the planets are bigg...
和最后一段的 "This work has resulted in the discovery of hundreds of planets around the nearest stars, and now a potentially habitable planet around the nearest star is in the sky, " Butler said.可推知,Alan Boss和Paul Butler都告知了 "除了地球以外,其他行星上也可能存在生命" 的可能性,故A...
The NASA-funded Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer, or LBTI, has completed its first study of dust in the "habitable zone" around a star, opening a new door to finding planets like Earth. Dust is a natural byproduct of the planet-formation process,
