Scientists Discover Atmosphere Around Tiny Frozen World Beyond Neptune
The object, known as 2002 XV93, is a minor planet and a Trans Neptunian Object (TNO).

NASA Shares Detailed Space Map Highlighting Nearly 6,000 Exoplanets
NASA said the TESS mission studies large sections of the sky, known as sectors, for about a month at a time using four onboard cameras.

Scientists Solve Venus Cloud Puzzle Using Simple Fluid Dynamics
Scientists discovered that a giant atmospheric wave on Venus behaves like a hydraulic jump seen in kitchen sinks. The process may explain the planet’s enormous sulfuric acid cloud front and its unusually fast atmospheric super rotation.

Astronomers Find Thin Atmosphere Around Distant Frozen Space Object
Researchers believe the discovery could provide new insights into how atmospheres form.
-
Astronomers Discover 27 Potential "Tatooine-Like" Planets Orbiting Two Stars
The potential planets were detected using data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.

Rubin Observatory Discovers Over 11,000 Asteroids Within Weeks of Imaging
The Vera Rubin Observatory has discovered over 11,000 new asteroids within weeks of early observations. The findings highlight its ability to rapidly map the solar system and improve tracking of near-Earth objects for planetary defence.

Saturn And Jupiter Gain New Moons, Take Solar System Satellite Count To 442
The newly discovered moons are "irregular" satellites, meaning they are small (averaging about 3 km across) and have distant, often eccentric orbits.

Scientists Discover New Type Of Liquid Planet That Exists In A "Molten, Mushy State", Smells Like Rotten Eggs
The molten lava world is enveloped in a thick atmosphere rich in hydrogen sulfide, which would produce a powerful smell of rotting eggs.

Scientists Uncover Vast Web Of Hidden Electromagnetic Waves Around Tiny Ice World
Scientists have discovered that Saturn's moon Enceladus creates a massive electromagnetic wake, revealing its major influence on the planet's magnetic and plasma environment.

Scientists Discover High-Density Rocky Planet in LHS 1903 System That Defies Conventional Formation Models
ESA’s CHEOPS mission has uncovered a surprising rocky planet at the outer edge of the LHS 1903 system. Located 116 light-years away, the discovery defies expectations that outer planets are gas giants. Scientists say the finding offers rare evidence that planets can form in gas-depleted environments, challenging current planetary formation models...

Astronomers Discover "Inside-Out" Planetary System With Rocky World Beyond Gas Planets, Challenging Formation Theories
Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered approximately 6,100 planets outside our solar system, called exoplanets.

Unique Inside-Out Planetary System Reveals Unexpected Rocky World on the Outer Edge
Astronomers have discovered a rare inside-out planetary system around LHS 1903, where a rocky planet exists beyond gas giants. Using ESA’s CHEOPS telescope, researchers found evidence that planets formed one after another in a gas-depleted environment, challenging long-standing theories about how planetary systems form and evolve across the galax...

Astronomers Find Planet Close To Solar System With Earth-Like Size And Orbit
Researchers estimate that the planet has about a 50% chance of being in its star's Hoble zone.
-
Astronomers Discover Massive Metal Cloud Orbiting Unknown Planet
Analysis of the wind speed and direction revealed that the cloud is moving at a different speed from its host star, confirming that it is bound to an external secondary object.
-
Scientists Discover 'Potentially Habitable' Earth-Like Planet Candidate
If confirmed, this exoplanet would be the only known rocky world in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star.
