The search for life beyond our solar system has taken an exciting turn, after a Belgian-led team reported finding planets with the potential to host life.
A new Earth-like planet dubbed GJ 1332b has been discovered by astronomers at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in La Serena, Chile.
Two US astronauts who arrived at the International Space Station aboard Boeing's Starliner will have to return home with rival SpaceX, NASA says. "NASA has decided that Butch and Sunny will return with Crew 9 next February, and that Starliner will return uncrewed," NASA administrator Bill Nelson tells reporters. The return of Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams has been delayed by thruster malfunctions of the Boeing spacecraft. SOUNDBITE
