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...

NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Venus May Hide a Vast Underground Tunnel Formed by Ancient Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say
Scientists analysing NASA’s Magellan radar data have identified signs of a vast underground lava tunnel on Venus. If confirmed, it would be only the second such structure found on the planet, challenging the belief that Venus is geologically inactive and opening new possibilities for studying its volcanic past.

Kepler Data Reveals Earth-Size Exoplanet on the Edge of Its Star’s Habitable Zone
Scientists studying Kepler telescope data have identified HD 137010 b, a possible Earth-sized planet orbiting a Sun-like star. While the planet follows a year-long orbit and may sit near the habitable zone, limited starlight could leave it colder than Mars. Future observations will determine whether this icy world truly exists.

New NASA Study Explains How Earth Got Its Water
A NASA study shows that meteorites delivered only a small amount of water to Earth over the past four billion years.

VLT’s GRAVITY Instrument Detects ‘Tug’ from Colossal Exomoon; Could Be Largest Natural Satellite Ever Found
Astronomers have spotted a subtle orbital wobble around the massive exoplanet HD 206893 B, hinting at the presence of a gigantic moon nearly half Jupiter’s mass. If confirmed, it would be unlike any moon known, potentially redefining how scientists distinguish between moons, planets, and brown dwarfs.
