JWST placed new limits on planets around Epsilon Eridani and demonstrated an improved technique for spotting faint signals. In science, a negative finding can be just as valuable as a positive one. Even the most Read More
A young gas giant, WISPIT 2b, was detected within a multi-ringed disk around a Sun-like star. Its active formation provides a rare opportunity to study early planetary evolution. An international team of astronomers, co-led by Read More
Unusual CO₂-rich disk detected around young star challenges planet formation
A study led by Jenny Frediani at Stockholm University has revealed a planet-forming disk with a strikingly unusual chemical composition: an unexpectedly high abundance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in regions where Earth-like planets may one Read More
Astronomers have discovered a giant Saturn-sized planet orbiting TOI-6894, the tiniest known star to host such a world. This surprising find challenges established theories that small stars lack the material to form giant planets. Discovery Read More
The world will warm more than expected due to future changes in ozone, which protects the Earth from harmful sun rays but also traps heat as it is a greenhouse gas. Summary Future ozone depletion Read More
Scientists are turning to a surprising new ally in the fight against climate change: digital twins — smart, AI-powered replicas of real-world energy systems. These virtual models can help us better understand and improve everything from Read More
Astronomers may have captured the rare moment of a planet forming around a young star, HD 135344B, 440 light-years away. Using the powerful ERIS instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, they spotted a potential planet Read More
Astronomers Discover Potentially Habitable Earth-Like Planet Just 35 Light-Years Away
Scientists have confirmed a potentially habitable fifth planet in the nearby L 98-59 system, revealing a diverse collection of rocky worlds that could harbor water or volcanic activity. A research team from the Trottier Institute Read More
A seemingly quiet star just gave up one of the universe’s best-kept secrets: a massive gas giant forming in its dusty disc. For years, MP Mus appeared featureless—no planets, no gaps, no drama. Read More
