New Discoveries in Exoplanet Research: Looking for Archean-like Biosignatures and Purple Glows
Broke On: Thursday, 18 April 2024An international team discovered methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapor in TRAPPIST-1e's atmosphere as potential biosignatures for early life forms. Cornell University researchers propose purple-hued exoplanets could harbor extreme alien life based on the presence of purple bacteria. NASA uses advanced technology to discover and characterize exoplanets, focusing on their habitable zones for potential liquid water and signs of life.

Infrared Auroras Discovered on Uranus, Potential Implications for Life on Icy Exoplanets
Broke On: Tuesday, 15 February 2022Infrared auroras have been discovered on Uranus using the Keck Observatory's Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSPEC). The auroras are believed to be driven by the planet's uniquely twisted and tilted magnetic field. The presence of H3+ ions and the resulting auroras could potentially indicate the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere, a key ingredient for life as we know it. NASA's New Map Reveals Locations of Water Ice on Mars
Broke On: Saturday, 15 January 2022NASA has developed a detailed map showing the locations of water ice on Mars. The map was created using data from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey orbiter. The map shows that water ice is present just an inch below the planet's surface in some places. The discovery could potentially support future human missions to Mars. NASA's Juno Spacecraft Captures 'Face' on Jupiter and Io's Volcanic Activity
Broke On: Sunday, 31 October 2021NASA's Juno spacecraft captured an image of a 'face' on Jupiter during a close flyby on October 27, 2021. The 'face' was spotted by citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill, who processed the image using data from Juno's JunoCam imager. The image also shows Jupiter's moon Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system, with 266 active volcanic hotspots linked by a global magma ocean.
