First Direct Image of Protoplanet Swirling Surrounding Gas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The formation and evolution of planets is the driving force behind both where and how we might find life beyond Earth. This complex and lengthy process first begins with a massive ball of gas and dust that swirls until it flattens into a disk, followed by rocks ranging in size from pebbles to kilometer-scale objects clumping together in a process known as accretion, as they too swirl around within the larger disk and form rocky planets closer to the star and the farther out planets collect the g
Coldest Lava Exoplanet Found to Hold an Atmosphere (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Exoplanets continue to challenge our understanding of planetary formation, evolution, and whether they might be able to support life as we know it. Scientists often use planets in our solar system as analogs for exoplanets, studying exoplanets with extremely short orbital periods forces scientists to constantly rethink our understanding of what planets can withstand during their lifetimes. One such type of exoplanet that has entered the foray in recent years are “lava world” exoplanets, and espe
Catch a Rare Lunar Occultation Jupiter Plus Saturn at Opposition in Early October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first week of October kicks off with two don’t miss skywatching events. It’s a busy skywatching month ahead. The first full week of October sees two top-notch skywatching events, with Saturn reaching opposition, and the Moon occulting Jupiter for North America on October 6th. This month’s occultation of Jupiter by the Moon is one of the best-placed and top skywatching events for 2026. The event transpires in the early morning hours of Tuesday, October 6th, centered on 10:16 Universal Time/6:
Finding Life on Enceladus Could be Easier than We Thought, Says New Research (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Planetary scientists from Freie Universität Berlin have published two new studies that indicate that a spacecraft could identify evidence of life much more easily than previously thought.
Strange giant planet TOI-1355 b set to vanish from view in 2033 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since their first discovery in 1995, hot Jupiter exoplanets (hot Jupiters, for short) quickly challenged our understanding of exoplanet formation and evolution, including exoplanetary system architecture. This is because, as their name implies, they orbit at extremely close distances to their host stars, ranging from a few days to a few hours. Some of their orbits are even oval-shaped, called eccentric in the scie
