Within the next few years, the number of planets discovered in orbits around distant stars will likely reach several thousand or more. But even as our list of these newly discovered "exoplanets" grows ever-longer, the search for life beyond our solar system will likely focus much more narrowly on the relatively few of these new worlds which exhibit the most Earth-like of conditions.

The Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley (OAVdA) and the INAF-Astronomical Observatory of Torino (INAF-OATo) in 2008 decided to implement and operate the APACHE Project (A Pathway toward the Characterization of Habitable Earths), the first-ever European network of small telescopes devoted to the search for exoplanets in transit around 3,000 bright low-mass stars (M dwarfs) in the solar neighbourhood.

The icy crust of Jupiter’s moon Europa may contain a huge body of water the size of the Great Lakes sitting just 1.8 miles below the surface. If confirmed, the findings could heat up the prospects of finding alien life on the chilly moon.

Story: On August 15, 1977 something unusual happened. The most famous of all SETI candidate signals (it was even mentioned on The X-Files), the Ohio State University "Wow!" signal was detected by a couple of young researchers setting up their equipment in a rented shed. Over 30 years later, after more than 100 follow-on studies, it remains an intriguing unexplained phenomenon.
