NASA just dropped the clearest images ever of our Solar System's planets. Jupiter's storms. Saturn's rings. Pluto's icy surface. These aren't illustrations. They're real worlds. 🪐🌍✨

But the same heat and solar forces could also cause the comet’s nucleus to fracture or break apart completely. If it holds together, look low in the west just after sunset for a chance to catch one of the sky’s most spectacular sights.

This Isn't Just Another Rocky World Orbiting a Red Dwarf. This One's Special Rocky planets are found in abundance around M-type stars (red dwarfs), so finding another one doesn't always generate headlines. But an international team of astronomers say that one recent M-dwarf rocky planet found by TESS is especially noteworthy. This one can serve as a benchmark for comparative studies of this type of exoplanet and their at-risk atmospheres.

NASA's tiny spacecraft sends first exoplanet images With the first images from the spacecraft now in hand, the team behind NASA's Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat, or SPARCS, is ready to begin charting the energetic lives of the galaxy's most common stars to help answer one of humanity's most profound questions: Which distant worlds beyond our solar system might be habitable?

"Ionic Liquids" Could Redefine the Habitable Zone “Follow the water” has been a guiding mantra of astrobiology, and even space exploration more generally for decades. If you want to find life, it makes sense to look for the universal solvent that almost all types of life on Earth use. But what if life doesn’t actually need water to live or even evolve? A recent paper, available in pre-print on arXiv by researchers at MIT, including Dr. Sara Seager, and the University of Cardiff, proposes an alternative to water as the basis for life - ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES). These liquids could allow life to exist in environments we had once thought were far too hot, too cold, or too barren to support life, and could dramatically change our search for it throughout the cosmos.

Nearby red dwarf star hosts at least four planets—with one in the habitable zone In 2020, a study confirmed that two planets orbited the nearby red dwarf, GJ 887. Now, astronomers have confirmed the existence of two additional planets orbiting GJ 887 in a new study published in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The new study suggests that one of these newly confirmed planets is in the habitable zone.

The waning moon at apporox. 75 % visible in a hazy photo with a thin cloud in front that makes him look like it could be Saturn. But ist is not.

What a world, what can I say: the moon pretends to be Saturn. Where does this end? #moon #saturn #solarsystem #photography #planet

The coldest 'stars' in the galaxy might actually be alien megastructures Ever since physicist Freeman Dyson first proposed the concept in 1960, the "Dyson sphere" has been the holy grail of techno-signature hunters. A highly advanced civilization could build a "sphere" (or, in our more modern understanding, a "swarm" of smaller components) around their host star to harvest its entire energy output. We know, in theory at least, that such a swarm could exist—but what would it actually look like if we were able to observe one? A new paper, available on the arXiv pre-print server and soon to be published in Universe from Amirnezam Amiri of the University of Arkansas, digs into that question—and in the process discloses the types of stars that are the most likely to find them around.
