Astrobiology is on the verge of revolutionary discoveries that suggest life exists beyond Earth, not if, but when.

Astronomers confirmed the existence of HD 20794 d, a promising super-Earth in the habitable zone, raising hopes for potential habitability.

HD 20794 d is an intriguing exoplanet within our galactic vicinity, with potential habitability due to its unique orbit.

This 'super-Earth' may offer insights into the diversity of planetary systems and conditions conducive to life.

Many assumed conditions for life may not be necessary for its emergence on other planets.

Excess water on an exoplanet could inhibit the development of life, but deeper water may enable habitability despite high-pressure conditions.

New understandings of planetary formation suggest that exoplanets might be more complex in their water distribution than previously thought.

Venus's dry interior suggests it has never had oceans, ruling out Earth-like life forms despite theoretical possibilities for habitability.

NASA's Europa Clipper mission aims to uncover Europa's habitability and potential for life, expanding our understanding of icy moons in our solar system.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has launched to investigate the potential habitability of Europa, a moon of Jupiter.

Europa Clipper has launched to investigate Jupiter's moon for signs of habitability, marking a significant step in understanding potential extraterrestrial life.

Gliese 12 b, an Earth-like exoplanet, could host human life if proven to have an Earth-like atmosphere and temperature for water formation.

Exoplanet LHS 1140 b, orbiting 40 light-years away, likely a super-Earth with potential for liquid water and habitability.

The outer solar system may host many hidden oceans, increasing potential habitability of its moons, particularly Saturn's moon Mimas.

Mimas may harbor a subsurface ocean, indicating the outer solar system could host more habitable environments than previously thought.

Mimas may have a hidden ocean beneath its icy crust, enhancing the habitability of the outer solar system.
