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.

James Webb Watches a Young Star Bake Crystals for Future Planets
Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have observed a young star in the Serpens Nebula forging crystalline silicates during powerful outbursts. The findings explain how heat-formed minerals can end up in cold cometary regions and planet-forming disks, shedding light on early stages of planet formation.

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

New Study Challenges Long-Held Beliefs About Mars' Red Colour
The study revealed that another mineral, ferrihydrite, a water-rich ferric oxyhydroxide, is widely present in Martian dust and is likely also found in the rocky layers beneath the surface.

Hubble Captures Rare Collision in Nearby Planetary System, Revealing Violent Planet Formation
Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have witnessed rare collisions between rocky bodies in the Fomalhaut system. The glowing debris clouds created by these impacts offer a unique glimpse into how planets form and highlight challenges in identifying true exoplanets.

NASA Finds Thick Atmosphere On Rare Rocky Exoplanet
Scientists are now analysing the entire data in depth to create a complete map of the temperature around the planet and better understand the composition of its atmosphere.

JWST Detects Thick Atmosphere on Ultra-Hot Rocky Exoplanet TOI-561 b
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours. Despite extreme radiation and molten surface conditions, the planet appears cooler than expected, suggesting heat-redistributing atmospheric winds and volati...
