The Moon, for most intents and purposes, is naked, bare, and exposed to the vacuum of space. But Earth's satellite does indeed have a blanket of gasses; thin and tenuous, but persistent enough to be ...

It is easy to imagine the moon as an atmosphere-less hunk of rock orbiting Earth. However, while lacking breathable air, our planet's loyal natural satellite companion does have a thin and wispy ...

While the moon lacks any breathable air, it does host a barely-there atmosphere. Since the 1980s, astronomers have observed a very thin layer of atoms bouncing over the moon’s surface. This delicate ...

The moon has held a secret for decades, and scientists are closer than ever to cracking it. New research has focused on the ‘exosphere’ of thin gases that cling to the celestial body and form a type ...

The hunt for habitable exoplanets is on, and with the James Webb Space Telescope, we finally have a tool that can not only detect the presence of a planet in another star system, but can also look at ...

The most common stars in the universe are red dwarf stars, which means that rocky exoplanets are most likely to be found orbiting such a star. Red dwarf stars are cool, so a planet has to hug it in a ...

The moon may not have any breathable air, but that doesn't mean it has no atmosphere. Astronomers have for decades been aware of the delicate atmosphere surrounding the moon that is so thin and ...

(CNN) -- The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor around a rocky exoplanet that orbits a star located 26 light-years away from Earth. Now, astronomers are trying to determine whether ...

An exoplanet in the habitable zone of its own sun is now suspected to have a liquid ocean and an atmosphere, meaning it has potential to harbor life similar to that on Earth. The planet, named LHS ...
