The New Rule That Could Transform the Search for Alien Life

Bedtime Astronomy

Astronomers have developed the Smaller Than Earth Habitability Model (STEHM), a new framework that could transform the search for life beyond Earth.

By examining the physical characteristics that help planets remain stable over vast timescales, the model offers a practical way to identify the most promising exoplanets. Could planetary size be one of the keys to finding life elsewhere in the universe?
