Second Newborn Exoplanet Discovered Orbiting Young Sun-like Star
An international team announced the discovery of WISPIT 2b, a five-million-year-old exoplanet orbiting a young sun-like star (WISPIT 2) in the Atacama Desert, Chile, using the Very Large Telescope; it is a gas giant, comparable to Jupiter, found within a vast, multi-ringed disk.

Gas Giant Found Orbiting Tiny Star Challenges Planet Formation Theories
An international team of astronomers discovered a gas giant planet, TOI-6894b, slightly larger than Saturn but half its mass, orbiting a small red dwarf star (TOI-6894) with only 20% of our sun's mass, challenging existing planet formation theories and highlighting the diversity of exoplanetary syst...

Cometary Boulder's Movement Explained by "Rocket Effect" from Ice Outburst
Chinese scientists, using data from ESA's Rosetta mission, discovered that a 140-meter northward movement of a boulder on comet 67P in 2015 was caused by an asymmetric outburst of volatile ice creating a "rocket effect", providing new insights into cometary activity and solar system evolution.

Did Our Sun Once Have a Twin?
Recent research suggests our sun may have had a binary companion star in the past, which may have influenced the formation and structure of our solar system; however, this companion has since disappeared, leaving our sun as a solitary star.

Interstellar Comet 3I/Atlas to Reach Perihelion in October
Comet 3I/Atlas, an interstellar object, is currently 670 million kilometers from the sun and will reach its perihelion around October 30th, between Mars and Earth's orbits, offering scientists a unique opportunity to study its composition and provide insight into the early solar system.

Early Earth May Have Been Hydrated from its Formation, Study Suggests
Analysis of a 4.6-billion-year-old enstatite chondrite meteorite reveals unexpectedly high levels of intrinsic hydrogen, challenging the prevailing theory that Earth's water originated solely from asteroid impacts and suggesting Earth may have been initially hydrated.

Massive Underground Mountains Challenge Understanding of Earth's Mantle
Two enormous structures, at least 500 million years old and potentially billions of years old, have been found 2,000 km beneath the Earth's surface beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean using seismic wave analysis, challenging existing understanding of mantle convection.
