Exoplanets more likely to host alien life than we think, study finds
Exoplanets more likely to host alien life than we think, study finds,The list of places where scientists should search for signs of extraterrestrial life just got a lot longer, as new research suggests certain classes of exoplanets might be more hospitable than once thought.Water-rich exoplanets and icy Moons like Jupiter’s Europa and Saturn’s Enceladus are potential targets for astrobiologists looking for signs of life elsewhere in the cosmos. But until recently it was assumed that for many water-rich exoplanets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, ice forming deep in the planet would keep important minerals in their rocky core from reach water closer to the surface.In a new study published...
