Extreme Life Forms Might be Able to Survive on Eccentric ExoplanetsPasadena CA (JPL) Sep 14, 2012 Astronomers have discovered a veritable rogues' gallery of odd exoplanets- from scorching hot worlds with molten surfaces to frigid ice balls. And while the hunt continues for the elusive "blue dot"- a planet with roughly the same characteristics as Earth- new research reveals that life might actually be able to survive on some of the many exoplanetary oddballs that exist. "When we're talking about a habitable planet, we're talking about a world where liquid water can exist," said Stephen Kane, a ... read more |
