Unlocking Alien Worlds: Scientists Develop New Technique To Detect Water on Exoplanets

Researchers are using basalt spectra to study exoplanets and search for water with the James Webb Space Telescope. By studying chemical processes in the Earth’s hot mantle, Cornell scientists are building a library of basalt-based spectral signatures. This research aims to identify the composition of planets beyond our solar system and could provide evidence of […] Read More
