- In the hunt for extraterrestrial life, astronomers have mostly looked for Earth-like planets. But now they have identified a new class of habitable planets, dubbed ‘Hycean’ planets -- ocean-covered planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres -- which are more numerous & observable than Earth-like planets https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-class-of-habitable-exoplanets-are-a-big-step-forward-in-the-search-for-life 162 comments science
- A new class of exoplanet very different to our own, but which could support life, has been identified by astronomers, which could greatly accelerate the search for life outside our Solar System. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/new-class-of-habitable-exoplanets-are-a-big-step-forward-in-the-search-for-life 5 comments space
