We tend to assume life needs a star to begin, but a 2025 study found that some moons carried into deep space by planets expelled during supernova explosions could preserve subsurface oceans for billions of years — heated not by sunlight, but by the repeated gravitational flexing of their orbits.
The usual picture of life begins with a star. A planet forms around it, settles into an orbit…
An exoplanet 124 light-years away may harbour a global ocean beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. Webb has produced two tentative hints of dimethyl sulfide—a gas produced mainly by marine microorganisms on Earth—but independent analyses dispute whether the molecule has been detected at all, leaving scientists divided over what the data mean.
A planet called K2-18b, 124 light-years away in the constellation Leo, has become the most closely watched world…
