JWST confirms GJ 1132 b lacks an atmosphere. This challenges the habitability of planets around M-dwarfs. Astronomers often encounter conflicting results when investigating cosmic questions. This is a normal aspect of the scientific method, as it highlights the need for more data to confirm or reject a hypothesis. A prominent example in exoplanet research involves [...]| SciTechDaily
Impact history should be considered a key factor in the search for habitable Earth-like exoplanets. Southwest Research Institute, working with Yale University, has produced a review highlighting recent scientific advances in understanding how the rocky inner planets, known as terrestrial planets, came to be and how they have changed over time. Their Nature Review journal [...]| SciTechDaily
