Alien life could exist on the huge Saturn moon Titan, but probably not in the abundance scientists once hoped, according to a new study.
The LIFE mission would feature four space telescopes acting together to search for biosignatures on rocky planets in the habitable zones of their stars.
Two nearby explosive massive star deaths, or supernovas, may have triggered mass extinction events in Earth's distant past, new research suggests.
A rock on Mars that may hold clues about ancient microbial life on the Red Planet continues to puzzle scientists.
"We were surprised that water could actually form so early on — even before the birth of the first galaxies."
