K2-18b, which is eight times the mass of Earth, is now the only planet orbiting a star outside the Solar System, or “exoplanet,” known to have both water and temperatures that could support life. The discovery, published in Nature Astronomy, is the first successful atmospheric detection of an exoplanet orbiting in its star’s “habitable zone” ...
Conventional science knows that the adult human body is made up of approximately 60 percent water, held mainly in the tissue cells. Different organs in the body need varying amounts of this liquid to function properly, including the heart, lungs, skin, eyes, brain, and even bones. Women and men need from 2.5 liters to 3.5 ...
Where did Earth’s water come from? A team of Arizona State University geoscientists led by Peter Buseck, Regents’ Professor in ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) and School of Molecular Sciences, has found an answer in a previously neglected source. The team has also discovered that our planet contains considerably more hydrogen, a ...
Slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates under the ocean drag about three times more water down into the deep Earth than previously estimated, according to a first-of-its-kind seismic study that spans the Mariana Trench. The observations from the deepest ocean trench in the world have important implications for the global water cycle, according to researchers in ...
Much like detectives study fingerprints to identify the culprit, scientists used NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to find the “fingerprints” of water in the atmosphere of a hot, bloated, Saturn-mass exoplanet some 700 light-years away. And they found a lot of water. In fact, the planet, known as WASP-39b, has three times as much ...
A bizarre underwater phenomenon in Antarctica has been caught on camera. However, be warned, the stunning phenomenon hides a deadly secret. With time-lapse cameras, Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson, for the first time, were able to time record the rare natural event dubbed the “Ice Finger of Death.” The twisting column of ice drives down ...
