Read the paper itself here! academic.oup.com/mnras/article/… (5/5)
A diagram depicting habitable zone boundaries across star types with data from this research. Earth is plotted alongside 45 exoplanets with radii less than 2 times or masses less than 5 times that of Earth, making them potentially rocky worlds. (4/5)
Astronomers now have some new places to search for life! 👀 In a new paper today, Carl Sagan Institute fellows have identified 45 potentially Earth-like worlds More at Cornell A&S: news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0… Interactive images: gillislowry.com/rocky-hz-catal… 🧵(1/4)
This research follows Dr. Turner's possible 1st detection of an exoplanet in the radio (published in 2021) See the CSI interview below 👇: youtube.com/watch?v=hC3ir9…

⭐️New Research from CSI Fellows⭐️ Dr. Jake Turner was a co-author on new research that has detected radio emission from dwarf stars and possibly even from exoplanets 📡🪐 Press Release: as.cornell.edu/news/novel-way…
⭐️New Research from CSI Fellows⭐️ Dr. Ligia Coelho (@lpfcoelho) & Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger (@KalteneggerLisa) just published a new paper on how we can search for life in the clouds of other Earths Press Release : news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/1… 👇More info on the result by Dr. Coelho👇
Can we look for life in the clouds of other Earths? 🧵 I’m excited to share my new paper showing the first reflectance spectra of microorganisms living in Earth’s atmosphere. 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2509.25173
Happy Halloween! ✨ 👻 🎃 Jack-o’-lanterns aren’t the only signs of life that glow in the dark. Some organisms on Earth do, too. Would a distant planet full of glow-in-the-dark aliens be detectable to our telescopes? Find out here! : bsky.app/profile/carlsa…
