This launch marked SpaceX’s 51st launch from SLC-4E […]

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery regarding the exoplanet K2-18 b, which is 8.6 times the mass of Earth. Using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers has found carbon-bearing molecules, including methane and carbon dioxide, in the planet’s atmosphere. This finding has led to the suggestion that K2-18 […]
