Circle versus rectangle: Finding 'Earth 2.0' may be easier using a new telescope…
All of this suggests that life might be common on planets that support liquid water, but it might be uncommon to find life that studies the universe and seeks to travel through space, like we do.

Surprising carbon dioxide-rich disk challenges planet theory
Lead author Jenny Frediani, a PhD student at Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, said: "Unlike most nearby planet-forming disks, where water vapor dominates the inner regions, this disk is surprisingly rich in carbon dioxide.

Massive stars in low metal galaxies frequently form binaries
For two decades, it has been known that many massive stars in the Milky Way are part of binary systems.

Scientists tune in to the surf's hidden signals
Yet these are but a sample of the sounds that come from the coast. Most of the acoustic energy from the surf is far too low in frequency for us to hear, traveling through the air as infrasound and through the ground as seismic waves.

Astronomers puzzled by carbon-loaded protoplanetary disk
"Unlike most nearby planet-forming disks, where water vapor dominates the inner regions, this disk is surprisingly rich in carbon dioxide," said lead author Jenny Frediani, a PhD student at the Department of Astronomy.

Warped planet forming discs challenge long held models of planetary birth
The research team, using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) as part of the exoALMA programme, discovered that many discs tilt by just half a degree to two degrees.

Model brings clarity to water rich exoplanets called steam worlds
But because these types of exoplanets tend to be much closer to their host star than Earth is to the Sun, sub-Neptunes are too hot to have liquid water on their surface and support life.
