New Study Suggests Intelligent Life Is More Common Than Previously Thought
A new study published in Science Advances challenges the 'hard steps' theory of intelligent life evolution, arguing that human evolution was a natural planetary process likely to have occurred on other Earth-like planets, increasing the probability of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Dust Obscuration Solves the Red Supergiant Problem
A new study resolves the 'red supergiant problem' by showing that dust obscured the luminosity of many red supergiant stars, leading to an underestimation of their numbers; this finding is based on data from the Webb and Hubble telescopes and ground-based surveys.

Perseverance Rover Reaches Mars Crater Summit to Study Ancient Rocks
NASA's Perseverance rover completed a challenging 3.5-month climb to the top of Jezero Crater on Mars, reaching an altitude of 1,640 vertical feet and preparing to analyze ancient rocks that could provide evidence of past life, including rocks from the early Martian crust and a field of quartz sugge...

Mars' Acidalia Planitia: Promising Site for Subsurface Microbial Life
Research indicates the Acidalia Planitia on Mars possesses sufficient water, warmth from radioactive decay, and energy to support methanogenic bacteria, potentially resolving the debate about Martian atmospheric methane; however, verification requires future deep-drilling missions.

Biosphere Could Extend Planetary Habitability by Billions of Years
A new study suggests that planets near the inner edge of their star's habitable zone could remain habitable for up to two billion years longer than previously thought due to life's ability to regulate atmospheric CO2 and prevent a runaway greenhouse effect, expanding the search for extraterrestrial ...

Comet Water May Resemble Earth's Oceans, Suggesting a Crucial Role in Delivering Water to Early Earth
A NASA-led study examining comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko suggests its water may resemble Earth's oceans, supporting the theory that Jupiter-family comets contributed significantly to Earth's water supply, challenging earlier research and suggesting implications for the search for extraterrestrial ...
