...,” says Leleu. Although none of the six exoplanets found lies in the star's habitable zone – an area in which liquid water might be found on a planet’s surface – the researchers suggest that by following their earlier plan of continuing the resonance...
... about the same size and temperature as our Sun, meaning their habitable zone, the range where liquid water is possible on the surface of any orbiting exoplanet, are about the same size as ours. The team acknowledge...
... an exoplanet’s habitable zone, the region where a terrestrial-like planet orbiting its host star can support liquid water on its surface, is very challenging. It would seem almost futile then to search for planets suitable for life...
... distinct surface fractures that converge at a central point. On Earth, similar fractures in desert environments might be a clue to past liquid water activity and thus past habitability. The shoe-boxed size helicopter has since completed its 11th...
... Cassini Project Scientist at JPL, sums it up well: “With organic molecules, and tidal heating producing a global subsurface liquid water ocean and a possible hydrothermal vent system on the seafloor, Enceladus’ ocean could harbor the ingredients for...
... in the habitable zones of its star--the range of distances from a star in which a rocky planet could host liquid water, and potentially life, on its surface. "My calculations place an upper limit of 0.18 Earth-like planets per G-type star...
