In a recent astronomical breakthrough, astronomers have identified two new exoplanets, one rocky and one puffy, orbiting distant stars. The first exoplanet, SPECULOOS-3b, is approximately the size of Earth and circles a small ultracool dwarf star located 55 light-years away. Meanwhile, the second exoplanet, WASP-193b, is a large yet unusually lightweight planet orbiting a Sun-like star roughly 1,200 light-years away. WASP

A new study conducted by scientists studying samples collected by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) asteroid explorer Hayabusa2 has revealed exciting information about the effects of space weathering on asteroid 162173 Ryugu. Using electron holography, the team examined the magnetic properties of the samples to gain insights into the early solar system’s magnetic field and how space weathering influenced the asteroid’s surface.

Space weathering refers to the changes that occur on the surfaces of planetary bodies without atmos

Scientists are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Europa Clipper mission in October, which could revolutionize our understanding of the solar system and the potential for life beyond Earth. The mission aims to explore Jupiter’s moon, Europa, and investigate the possibility of a subsurface ocean and habitable conditions within it. The spacecraft is currently being constructed and tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California before being shipped to Cape Canaveral, Florida, for final launch preparations. The mission,

Scientists are using data from spacecraft to forecast the appearance of the Sun’s corona during a total solar eclipse scheduled for April 8, 2045. The corona, which becomes visible when the Moon fully covers the Sun, provides valuable insights into stellar dynamics and solar storms and their impact on Earth. Researchers from Predictive Science have used data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft and real-time updates from NASA’s Electra Supercomputer to forecast the structure of the corona.
