- Studying exoplanets in the Venus Zone could give astronomers a better understanding of whether Venus was ever habitable. The Webb observations the researchers propose, for example, may reveal biosignature gases in the atmosphere such as methane, methyl bromide, or nitrous oxide, which could signal the presence of life.

Mar 30, 2023 · Studying exoplanets similar to Venus could aid the search for habitable worlds by teaching us what not to look for in the universe.
May 23, 2024 · In a rare and tantalizing discovery, astronomers have found an Earth-like exoplanet 40 light-years away that may be just a little warmer than our own world. The potentially-habitable planet, named Gliese 12 b, orbits its host star every 12.8 days, is comparable in size to Venus — so slightly smaller than Earth — and has an estimated surface ...

May 23, 2024 · Astronomers have made the rare and tantalizing discovery of an Earth-like exoplanet 40 light-years away that may be just a little warmer than our own world.
May 24, 2024 · A world that bears more than a passing similarity to Earth has just been discovered orbiting a star just 40 light-years from the Solar System. This exoplanet has a very similar radius to our home planet, suggesting a similar rocky composition.
May 23, 2024 · A team of astronomers have found a potentially habitable exoplanet about 40 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. Exoplanet Gliese 12 b is slightly smaller than Earth–about the size...
May 23, 2024 · Now two teams of international scientists have found a Venus-like planet not far from our own solar system, and they're eager to know if it's habitable. The so-called "exo-Venus," a rocky...
Jul 17, 2013 · Ideally, astronomers would like to know more about the atmosphere of potentially habitable planets. That way they could look at the planet's molecular makeup for signs of runaway greenhouse gases that could indicate an inhospitable Venus-like planet.
