Uranus’ Outer Rings May Reveal Hidden Moons, Scientists Say
New observations of Uranus reveal its outer rings contain ice and organic material, suggesting hidden moonlets. The findings offer new clues about the planet’s ring system and the formation of its mysterious satellites.

Kepler-51 Super-Puff Planets Baffle Scientists as JWST Finds No Atmosphere Clues
The Kepler-51 system hosts three ultra-light “super-puff” planets with massive atmospheres and tiny cores. New JWST observations failed to detect atmospheric signatures, suggesting thick hydrocarbon haze and deepening the mystery of how such worlds form.

Why Mars Dried Up: Scientists Uncover The 'Missing Link' To Its Lost Oceans
A regional dust storm on Mars may have played a significant role in the planet's water loss, pushing water vapor high into the atmosphere.

NASA Uncovers Mysterious Exoplanet Where Carbon Clouds Can Form Diamonds
The distant planet appears to be in the shape of a lemon as the pulsar's intense gravity stretches the planet.

Uranus and Neptune May Be Rock-Dominated Planets, Study Suggests
Uranus and Neptune may not be true ice giants after all. New research using advanced hybrid simulations suggests the distant planets could be dominated by rocky material rather than water-rich ices. The findings challenge decades of planetary models and may help explain the planets’ unusual, non-dipolar magnetic fields. Scientists say future dedi...

Astronomers Spot Signs of Baby Planets in a Star’s Mysterious Disk
Astronomers using Keck Observatory have imaged the dusty disk around HD 34282, a young star about 400 light-years away, revealing bright clumps and a 40 AU gap—clear signs of planet formation. The system provides a rare glimpse into early planetary birth, helping refine models of how gas and dust evolve into new worlds.

ESCAPADE Mission: NASA To Send Twin Orbiters To Decode Mars' Magnetic Mysteries
The mission is scheduled to launch on November 9, aboard Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

NASA’s GRACE Satellites Reveal Hidden Deep-Earth Process Behind Gravity Disturbance
Scientists have discovered a mysterious gravity signal detected by satellites nearly 20 years ago, which is linked to deep mantle changes beneath the Earth’s surface. The anomaly, lasting two years, coincided with a magnetic “jerk”, suggesting a rapid mass shift near the planet’s core.

Perseverance Spots Possible Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Over Martian Sky
A mysterious streak seen by NASA’s Perseverance rover over Mars may be comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object flying past the planet in early October. Though unconfirmed, the sighting aligns with its predicted path, raising excitement over a possible first observation of an interstellar comet from another world.

Strange 'Rogue' Planet Spotted Guzzling Matter Like A Star
A mysterious "rogue" planet has been observed gobbling six billion tonnes of gas and dust a second -- an unprecedented rate that blurs the line between planets and stars, astronomers said.
