The habitable zone, or Goldilocks zone, is the region surrounding a star where water can exist on the surface of an orbiting planet or moon. The hotter the star, the farther away its habitable zone sits.
That proximity makes it much easier to spot any planets that pass in front of the tiny star, as such eclipses tend to block a large fraction of starlight and make the presence of an exoplanet clear.
They were once the only exo-planets we knew of. Turns out, they're extremely rare
Thirty years ago, researchers discovered the first ever exoplanets — planets outside our solar system. The planets were orbiting a pulsar, a type of neutron star, one of the most extreme objects in the known universe.
Finding stars is one thing — they emit a lot of light, they’re often very big, you can even see stars with the naked eye in the night sky. But finding planets is another. Planets don’t emit light of their own, so finding them is a whole different ball game.
Here's your chance to name newly discovered planets
With NASA's new Webb Space Telescope spotting many new exoplanets, the International Astronomical Union is allowing the public to help name the newly discovered worlds.
The team is then required to submit its name proposal both in writing and on video. Teams have until Nov. 11 to submit their proposals.

But getting an accurate picture of these exoplanets, let alone determining if they are habitable, is immensely complex.
"The ability to look for exoplanets - planets that orbit around stars - is one of the hardest optical engineering challenges we've ever tried. And it's not been solved," John C Mather , senior astrophysicist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, told IE .
Sun will destroy planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth! Stunning study reveals time | Tech News
Just a couple of days ago, a new study by the European Space Agency (ESA) revealed that the Sun has entered its middle age, estimated to be around 4.57 billion years.
The study concluded that the Sun will reach its peak temperatures nearly 8 billion years into the future after which it will lower its surface temperature and increase its size.
Stars appear to regulate their own masses during formation | Space
The revelation may finally solve the mystery of why stars that are born in radically different conditions across the universe throughout billions of years come to have similar masses, despite the fact the opposite should be true. This puzzle is one that has confounded scientists for decades.

"If you looked at Earth sitting next to Mars or Venus from a distant vantage point, then depending on when you observed them, you might think they're both the same object," explains Dr. Prabal Saxena, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
“For example, depending on the observation, an exo-Earth could be hiding in [light from] what we mistakenly believe is a large exo-Venus.”

NASA created this new composite image of Jupiter with data recorded by the James Webb Space Telescope. Using its near-infrared camera, the instrument can pick up radiation the human eye doesn't perceive.
The telescope captured our solar system's largest planet—including its satellites and tumultuous atmosphere—as we've never seen it. Jupiter's auroras can be seen as waves of color capping its northern and southern poles.
Astrology Birth Chart: Meaning and How to Interpret
Back in the day, the only way to calculate a birth chart was by hand, using a protractor and a table known as an "ephemeris." Thankfully, we have astrology software now, making it possible to calculate a complete birth chart in less than a second.
To pull up a birth chart (whether it be yours or someone else's), you'll need the date, time, and location of birth. But keep in mind that the birth chart is an extremely sensitive diagram that requires accurate data.
