A pair of astrophysicists, one with Kindai University, the other the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, both in Japan, have found possible evidence of an Earth-like planet residing in the Kuiper Belt. In their paper published in The Astronomical Journal, Patryk Sofia Lykawka and Takashi Ito describe properties of the...
Unfortunately the main text is hiding behind a paywall so not accessible to everyone but the short summary is: yes it is.
As somebody working in an astrobiology research group, I am more intrigued why this still seems to be a question that needs to be addressed.

I must admit, this news about #Uranus and #Neptune has me shook:
"A fresh analysis of Voyager 2's images show both ice giants are in fact a similar shade of greenish blue, which is the 'most accurate representation yet' of the planets' colors, the new study finds."
A much anticipated NASA report on UFOs calls for better tracking and scientific understanding of unexplained phenomena that captivate the public and have raised concerns about military security.
The new Science Explorer (SciX) launches today! This provides search over publications related to Earth and Space Science. It builds on the Astrophysics Data Service to expand similar services of discovery to Earth, Planetary, Heliophysics and Space-based biological and physics sciences.
Les paysages qui entourent Perseverance sont vraiment majestueux ces temps-ci. Le rover remonte le lit asséché de la rivière Neretva, qui perce le rempart du cratère Jezero, rempart qu'on voit ici en arrière-plan. Il s'élève à plusieurs centaines de mètres de haut !
