While Earth's orbit is nearly circular & it moves at a stable speed around the Sun, Mars doesn't. Its orbit is more elliptical & its speed varies. So while Earth's seasons change on the same dates year after year, Mars' seasons don't. #SeasonsChange

To detect this super-Earth's water, the UCL researchers developed their own open-source algorithms which they applied to analyze K2-18’s starlight as it filtered through its planetary offspring’s atmosphere. #DiscoverTogether — @Forbes

Water has been discovered in the atmosphere of a "super-Earth" exoplanet orbiting its star within the habitable zone. While the exoplanet's atmosphere isn't expected to be "habitable" by human standards, this is a remarkable discovery: https://t.co/CzkgUzdnPp
