For astrobiologists, the search for life beyond our solar system could be likened to where one would look in a vast desert-essentially, where there's water. And it turns out that one of the most common types of exoplanet observed in planetary systems beyond ours have a size and mass that indicate a water-rich interior. They are categorized as "sub-Neptunes" because their size and mass are betwee

Scientists have developed a new technique to chart the star spots of distant suns using data from NASA's TESS and Kepler missions. The method, called StarryStarryProcess, builds on long-standing models of stellar spottiness and enhances how astronomers interpret transit light curves produced when planets cross their host stars.

The Aurora Australis, photographed over Concordia station in July 2025, during the ongoing solar activity maximum, the peak of the Sun's 11-year cycle.
This dazzling light show appears when charged particles from the Sun are guided by Earth’s magnetic field towards the polar regions, where they collide with gases in the upper atmosphere and create shimmering waves of colour dancing across the sky.
Concordia station, perched high on Antarctica’s Dome C plateau, is one of the most remote research outposts on Earth. On 4 May this year, the Sun set below the horizon and only returned on 10 August. During this
