But we’ve never definitively found a liquid ocean on another planet. A new paper from researchers Eleanor Cornish and Tyler Robinson of the University of Arizona, available in pre-print on arXiv and submitted to the Astrophysical Journal, looks at a unique way we might be able to fin…
Researchers at the University of Arizona have proposed a new technique to identify oceans in exoplanets, using the phenomenon known as "glint". The study, which will be published in the Astrophysical Journal, can revolutionize the search for...
