Summary
Astronomers have developed the Smaller Than Earth Habitability Model (STEHM), a new framework that could transform the search for life beyond Earth. By examining the physical characteristics that help planets remain stable over vast timescales, the model offers a practical way to identify the most promising exoplanets. Could planetary size be one of the keys to finding life elsewhere in the universe? Thank you for listening to Bedtime Astronomy — your guide to the cosmos.
