After examining a dozen types of suns and a roster of planet surfaces, Cornell University astronomers have developed a practical model — an environmental color “decoder” — to tease out climate clues for potentially habitable exoplanets in galaxies far away.
“We looked at how different planetary surfaces in the habitable zones of distant solar systems could affect the climate on exoplanets,” said Jack Madden, who works in the lab of Lisa Kaltenegger, associate professor of astronomy and director of Cor...
