Signs of Alien Life Detected on Nearby Exoplanet Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
Astronomers have detected possible biosignature gases, including dimethyl sulfide (DMS), in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Located in the habitable zone, this “Hycean” world may host a vast ocean and a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, raising intriguing possibilities about alien life. Further research is ...

Why Haven't We Come In Contact With Aliens? Fermi's Paradox Explained
Astronomers raised hopes that humanity might not be alone in the universe by announcing on Thursday they have detected the most promising hints yet of life on a distant planet.

Scientists Find Strongest Evidence Yet Of Life On An Alien Planet
In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet's atmosphere.

This New Telescope Can Negate 'False-Positives' Of Alien Life Within Hours
The ELT could identify biosignatures on planets in our solar system as well as orbiting Proxima Centauri within hours.

Alien Life May Survive on Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs, Study Finds
New research explores the possibility of alien life on planets orbiting white dwarfs. While these stellar remnants cool over time, their shrinking habitable zones may still allow biological processes like photosynthesis and UV-driven abiogenesis to occur. A model assessing a planet's energy reception over seven billion years indicates that life-sus...

"80 Years Of Lies": New Documentary Claims Presence Of Alien Life On Earth
A new documentary is causing a stir by asserting the presence of alien life on Earth and claiming a US government effort to hide information on possible extraterrestrial activity.

Life on Mars? Studies Suggest Bacteria-Like Organisms Could Exist
New findings indicate that Mars' past conditions may have supported microbial life. Research draws parallels with extremophiles—microorganisms that thrive in extreme environments on Earth. Studies on bacteria like Helicobacter pylori suggest that if life exists on Mars, it might resemble resilient microbes found in human stomachs. Scientists cont...

New Study Challenges Great Filter Theory, Suggests Life Evolves with Planetary Changes
A recent study argues that intelligent life does not emerge by sheer luck but evolves when planetary conditions become suitable. Researchers challenge the "great filter" concept, suggesting that Earth's changing geobiology influenced when life arose rather than a series of improbable events. This perspective shifts the focus to how planetary enviro...

Human-Like Lifeforms Beyond Earth? New Study Says It's More Likely Than We Thought
The research proposes that the emergence of humanity on Earth was not as improbable as previously thought, potentially increasing the likelihood of intelligent life existing on other planets.

Mars' Hidden Methane Deposits Could Be Underneath the Crust, Host Alien Life
Scientists have identified regions on Mars where conditions might support microbial life beneath the surface. Seasonal methane variations and Earth-based studies of similar environments suggest underground habitats such as Acidalia Planitia could hold the key. Methanogens, microbes that produce methane, thrive in extreme conditions on Earth, like s...

Astrobiologists Create Framework to Study Extraterrestrial Life Evolution
Astrobiologists are redefining the search for extraterrestrial life, focusing on evolution and complexity in physical systems. Methods include spectroscopy for detecting chemical signatures and frameworks exploring non-Earth biochemistry. Researchers are also investigating technosignatures and minerals linked to biological processes. A universal un...
