The discovery of Gliese 12 b, a Venus-like planet just 40 light-years away, offers new opportunities to understand the conditions that support life in the universe. "Evil Twin" it gets a lot more
This illustration shows charged particles from Jupiter hitting the face of Europa, separating icy water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen molecules. The scientists believe that some of these newly formed oxygen gases can move into the moon's subsurface ocean, as the circled figure shows. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SWRI/PU
