A team, including a University of Michigan astronomer, has discovered a promising exoplanet, LHS 1140 b, which may be an ice or water world within the habitable zone. The study, led by Universite de Montreal, indicates that LHS 1140 b is unlikely to be a mini-Neptune, a type of small gas giant. Located about 48 light-years away in the constellation Cetus, this exoplanet is one of the most

Scientists first noticed these radio waves decades ago, and over the years they've determined the radio waves come from solar flares and giant eruptions on the Sun called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, which are a key driver of space weather that can impact satellite communications and technology at Earth. But no one knows where the radio waves originate within a CME. The CURIE mission a

Neutron stars, with their extreme densities and mysterious interiors, remain enigmatic to astrophysicists. Despite having a radius of around twelve kilometers, they can possess over twice the mass of the sun, with matter packed up to five times denser than an atomic nucleus. Alongside black holes, neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe. Under such intense conditions, matter can tr

Auroras, long a source of wonder and myth, have a newfound significance in our technologically reliant world. The same space weather phenomena that create these stunning light displays can also induce currents that threaten electrical infrastructure, such as pipelines. Recent research published in *Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences* reveals that the angle at which interplanetary shocks s

Despite decades of research, much remains unknown about the origins and early evolution of life on Earth. A recent paper from the University of California - Riverside aims to bridge this gap, suggesting future studies that could also inform climate change predictions and the search for extraterrestrial life. "This paper strives to inform the Earth sciences community where the research need
