[ad_1] The most prevalent type of star in the universe, the M dwarf, has an Earth-like planet orbiting it. The most prevalent type of star in the universe, the M dwarf, has an Earth-like planet orbiting it that appears to have no atmosphere at all. This discovery could cause a major shift in the search for life on other planets. This discovery implies that a large number of planets orbiting these stars may also lack atmospheres and, as a result, are unlikely to support life because M-dwarfs are so common. The Astrophysical Journal Letters provides a detailed account of the research that produced the discoveries regarding the GJ 1252b no-atmosphere planet. In a day on Earth, this planet makes two orbits around its star. In addition to being inhospitable, GJ 1252b is significantl...

[ad_1] A study has revealed that Oxygen may not be an ideal indication for the possibility of life on other planets. Know the reason. Oxygen is the fount of life. Shockingly, while that may be true for Earth, it may not apply on other planets! There is up to 46 percent in the crust and most probably mantle too has about the same amount, while the atmosphere has around 21 percent. Oxygen is basically the byproduct of the photosynthesis process of plants. So, if scientists find any evidence of the presence of oxygen on any exoplanet, then it indicates life beyond Earth. But the latest study shows that it is not the ideal sign of life! The latest study titled "Abiotic molecular oxygen production—Ionic pathway from sulfur dioxide," published in Science Advances, has found an abiotic so...

Shocking answer! Where there is Oxygen, there is sign of LIFE?
