Good News For The Search For Life, - The Trappist System Might Be Rich In Water

Scientists have been hard at work trying to determine the densities of the TRAPPIST-1 planets, and it looks like water is abundant in the TRAPPIST system.

We now have a complete map of Titan's surface

It's Surprisingly Like Earth. Saturn moon's three biggest puddles have a common equipotential surface – a sea level, just like our own oceans.

Vast Sheets of Ice Have Been Found on Mars

Researchers have identified eight, massive sheets of ice just below the Martian surface, and they appear to be relatively young deposits.

Hubble delivers first hints of possible water content of TRAPPIST-1 planets

The results suggest that the outer planets of the system might still harbour substantial amounts of water. This includes the three planets within the habitable zone of the star.

NASA's Cassini Finds Hidden Ocean on Saturn's Moon Dione

New gravity data from recent Cassini flybys of the giant planet suggest that Dione's crust floats on an ocean 62 miles below the surface, and may harbor microbial life.

Hubble Directly Images Possible Plumes on Europa

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took direct ultraviolet images of the icy moon Europa transiting across the disk of Jupiter. Out of ten observations, Hubble saw what may be water vapor plumes on three of the images.

Pluto may have a 60 mile deep liquid water ocean

A prior study demonstrated that Pluto's center is sufficiently warm to bolster a fluid water sea, and now we've discovered that it may be immense - no less than 100 km (62 miles) profound.

Venus May Have Supported Life Too

Earlier in its history, the second planet from the sun may have had a liquid water ocean and temperatures suitable for life, a new study shows.

Most likely Earth-like exoplanets cataloged

Researchers list exoplanets with the most potential to have liquid water, or even life. An international team of researchers has pinpointed which of the more than 4,000 exoplanets discovered by NASA

It Looks Like Pluto Has a Liquid Water Ocean

A modeling paper published this week in Geophysical Research Letters offers a simple but fascinating explanation: partial freezing within a subsurface, liquid water ocean.

Geysers on Saturn Moon Enceladus Hint at Plumbing Mystery

A small water jet on the icy moon spews its fiercest eruptions when the moon is farthest from the planet, but overall gas output hardly increases.

Life-bearing lake possible on icy Jupiter moon

Is it possible that a life-bearing lake exists on the icy Jupiter moon, Europa. See if it is possible that a life-bearing lake is possible on Europa.
