The artist's conception shows a hypothetical planet with two moons orbiting in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star.
Rocky planets around cool stars may have Earthlike climates Atmospheric heating might be the secret to keeping planets spinning By Christopher Crockett 2:00pm, January 15, 2015
Red dwarfs are the most common type of star in the universe, and nearly every one of these stars may have a planet located in its habitable zone where life has the best chance of existing, a new study concludes.
Penny Boston is looking for alien life, which begins in caves on planet Earth.
