Sep 24th: Is TRAPPIST-1c Habitable?
TRAPPIST-1 c receives a similar amount of radiation from its host star as Venus gets from the Sun. So the question, is this planet habitable?
Aug 6th: Is the James Webb Breaking Cosmology?
Jul 9th: JWST Takes First Direct Image of an Exoplanet
JWST successfully took direct image of a gas giant exoplanet, and that means it has no rocky surface and could not be habitable.
Jun 21st: Climate in Crisis & Stars in Formation
In this episode, we bring you stories on how JWST – Not LIGO and Virgo – spotted the most distant Black Hole merger to date, why the search for life on other worlds gets more challenging the more we look, and we take a deep dive into the things we’re doing that cause and relieve climate change.

JWST observed methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet. And we want to know that life is common. But we have not evidence yet. More at #365DaysOfAstro
Dec 20th: Atmospheric Results from JWST: Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and More
Exoplanet discoveries have been piling up faster and faster over the last decade. With the addition of JWST’s capabilities, previously discovered exoplanets are now being analyzed for their atmospheric composition, and the results are intriguing. Today SETI Live discuss about exoplanet K2-18 b that was found to contain carbon dioxide and methane
