Finding an ocean on an exoplanet would be huge, and the Habitable Worlds Observatory could do it
On Earth, water is so intertwined with life that our search for life on other worlds is essentially a search for water. When scientists find exoplanets around distant stars, a primary consideration is if they're in the stars' habitable zones where liquid water could persist on the planet's surface. The search for atmospheric biosignatures takes a backseat to the search for water.
Kepler-725c, a recently discovered exoplanet, draws attention thanks to its unique elliptical orbit that could influence its ability to shelter life. Located in a potentially habitable area, this super-Earth opens up new fascinating perspectives in astronomy. Kepler-725c, an exoplanet located thousands of light years away, has been identified through the transit method. This technique allows to detect variations in brightness caused by the passa…
A new step in the search for life in the universe: finding an ocean on an exoplanet will be easier with NASA's HWO observatory. The new space telescope, which will be unveiled in 2025, is designed to search for and characterize potentially habitable exoplanets. Its main goal is to detect liquid water on the surfaces of at least 25 planets.
