University of Groningen scientist Klaus Hubacek investigates planetary boundaries. With a global population of eight billion, ...

Claims of worlds orbiting Barnard’s star have been made before. But an advanced instrument could provide the breakthrough that finally confirms the star hosts a planetary system ...

New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars ...

We might finally understand what’s going on inside Uranus and Neptune, and the answer is pretty surprising: They may each contain an ocean of water. “We didn’t really know anything before,” about ...

Crucially this water would be separated, like oil and water, from a carbon-rich layer below that divides the ocean from each ...

"The suggestion of an ocean inside one of the most distant moons in the solar system is remarkable," a researcher said.
