The quest for life beyond Earth has centered for decades on rocky, Earth-like planets, but a new class of enigmatic worlds ...

Hycean worlds are also called ocean worlds. They're planets covered in oceans that also have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

The researches say that the Hycean Habitable Zone (HHZ), when compared to the terrestrial habitable zone, may include smaller ...

There’s always going to be a way to make something abiotically.” With these words, chemist Eleanor Browne of the University of Colorado Boulder captured the humility accompanying one of the most ...

Kepler-725c may belong to a new class of habitable super-Earths (alternatively known as 'mini-Neptunes') known as Hycean planets. It has been proposed that Hycean planets, with massive oceans and ...

Though K2-18b orbits in its star’s habitable zone, it is not a second Earth. At 2.6 times the radius and 8.6 times the mass of our planet, it is a mysterious and alien world—one that might not ...

K2-18b, located 124 light-years from Earth, could be a Hycean world: a potentially habitable planet entirely covered in liquid water with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, said lead study author Nikku ...

K2-18b orbits a red dwarf star, cooler than the sun, in its so-called "habitable zone," the region around a host star where it's not too hot or cold for liquid water to exist on the surface of a ...

Nikku Madhusudhan: Indian-origin scientist leads groundbreaking alien life research on distant planet K2-18b With the help of cutting-edge tools like the JWST and future missions, Professor Nikku ...

K2-18b is 2.6 times larger than Earth and an exoplanet, or a planet far from our Solar System: 124 light years away in this case, and orbiting its star in the habitable zone.

K2-18b, located 124 light-years from Earth, could be a Hycean world: a potentially habitable planet entirely covered in liquid water with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, said lead study author Nikku ...
