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.

Scientists Trace Rare Cosmic Outburst to a Massive Planetary Collision Around Gaia20ehk
Astronomers have reported evidence of two planets colliding around a distant Sun-like star, Gaia20ehk, located about 11,000 light-years away. The star's light output remained steady until 2016, when it exhibited three minor dimming events; by 2021, the light curve reportedly "went completely bonkers." Follow-up infrared observations revealed a burs...

Bill Gates, Tony Blair, And Sundar Pichai Among Key Attendees At India AI Summit
India's first-ever Artificial Intelligence Impact Summit is scheduled in New Delhi's Bharat Mandapam from February 16 to 20, bringing together global leaders, innovators and policymakers.

Astronomers Successfully Weigh a Starless ‘Rogue Planet’ Drifting Through the Milky Way
Astronomers have precisely measured the mass of a rogue planet wandering through the Milky Way using a rare gravitational microlensing event. By combining observations from ground-based telescopes across three continents with data from ESA’s Gaia spacecraft, researchers determined the planet’s distance and found it to be about the mass of Satur...

AI Impact Summit 2026: MeitY Says AI Should Not Be Controlled by Small Set of Companies
AI Impact Summit 2026, India’s inaugural artificial intelligence (AI) event, will be held between February 16 and 20 in New Delhi. Ahead of the event, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) shared the vision, thematic structure, and progress of the summit. During the briefing, it was revealed that the AI summit will focus ...

"Climate Crisis Won't Lead To Humanity's Demise": Bill Gates
Climate change "will not lead to humanity's demise," billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has said in a long memo in which he argued that tackling global disease and poverty will help prepare the planet's poorest for a warming world.

Not Like Venus Or Mars, Distant Exoplanet May Have Atmosphere Like Earth's
A distant exoplanet might have an atmosphere similar to Earth's, early observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. It is part of a group of planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST-1, about 40 light-years away from Earth.

Doomed Exoplanet TOI-2109b Spirals Toward Its Star with Three Possible Fates
The gas giant TOI-2109b, over five times Jupiter’s mass, is spiraling closer to its star in a rare planetary death spiral. With a 16-hour orbit and blistering heat, the exoplanet could either plunge into its host star, be torn apart by tidal forces, or evolve into a rocky super-Earth through photoevaporation. NASA’s TESS and ESA’s Cheops data...
