To solve that problem, a team of German researchers at the Technical University in Berlin figured that, instead of having a ...

An international team has confirmed the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone of a nearby sun-like star.

Stargazers will be treated to a dazzling six- and seven-planet "alignments" in February. A planetary alignment, or a "planet ...

So, what is planetary ... to life as we know it is due to its lack of a thick atmosphere, which is responsible for preventing ...

Most of us are reserving judgment on whether there is intelligent life on other planets; we haven’t even found bacteria yet, much less a race of aliens with Internet service and takeout food.

Astronomers have spotted a "supersonic jetstream" on a nearby alien world, with winds reaching 20,500 mph (33,000 km/h) — the fastest planetary ... both associated with life on Earth, they ...

Researchers concluded that powerful jetstream winds around the equator would explain this unexpected result, and shows the planet has complex weather systems like Earth and other planets in our solar ...

Tornados, cyclones and hurricanes wreak havoc on Earth, but scientists have now detected planetary winds on an entirely different scale, far outside the Solar System. Ever since its discovery in ...

If astrobiologists are ever going to detect life beyond our solar ... We are studying these planets’ chemical compositions, their thermodynamics and their wind fields, she said.

“This means that we can likely resolve even finer details of the wind patterns and expand this research to smaller, rocky planets,” said Nortmann. The research is published in the journal ...
