‘habitable zone

New research redefines the Habitable Zone of exoplanets by considering subglacial liquid water, extending potentially habitable conditions beyond traditional boundaries. Supported by recent JWST observations, this study broadens the scope for finding life on exoplanets, especially those orbiting M-dwarf stars.Professor Amri Wandel from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has introduced groundbreaking research with the potential to transform our understanding of habitable exoplanets. His latest study, published in the…

The presence of a super-Earth exoplanet has recently come to light that is found it be within the ‘habitable zone’ of its star. But the real question is - is it really habitable.    The exoplanet goes by the Ross 508b, and is about 36.5 light-years away from us. It is about four times bigger than earth.
