Most potentially habitable planets don’t have day-night cycles. What does this mean for the evolution of alien life?
Most planets that have the potential to host life have one side always facing their sun.
I am a planetary and atmospheric scientist. I wrote my PhD about atmospheric oscillations on Earth-like exoplanets. My postdoctoral research is about the fluid dynamics of the Venus atmosphere.
My interests are planetary science, climatology, geophysical fluid dynamics, modelling and simulations, and emerging space technologies.
I also freelance as a science writer and translator. I have written educational articles for Futurum Careers and maintain a personal blog about my work.
