«Disintegrating before our eyes»: James Webb telescope finds two strange planets that catapult themselves into space
Astronomers have observed for the first time how two worlds outside the solar system eject their outer layers into space — and this data, collected James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)offer an «unprecedented» view of what distant planets hide in their insides (in fact, something that is beyond the reach of even the Earth).
Mysterious giant object distorted the solar system — it may lose one planet
Scientists say that if creating the Solar System “by the book,” it would be flatter and more round. It seems something extraordinarily large stirred it up.
Jupiter in detail: NASA shows new images of the largest planet in the Solar System

NASA is considering the possibility of growing housing from mushrooms on the Moon and Mars. The agency has signed a $2 million contract with researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center to study «mycotecture».
Astronomers find a planet that shows the fate of the Earth in 8 billion years — if it is not absorbed by the Sun
The rocky planet, called KMT-2020-BLG-0414, is located 4,000 light-years from Earth and orbits a smoldering white dwarf — an object that was once a large star like our Sun.
Venus — geological twin of early Earth? New study changes the way we think about planetary evolution
Scientists have discovered that Venus’s vast plateaus, known as tesserae, may have formed through processes similar to those that created the Earth’s oldest continents billions of years ago.
«We thought it was impossible». Astronomers discover frost near the equator of Mars
Previously, it was believed that there was no water ice in this region (equivalent to the tropics on Earth), so the latest discovery should radically change the modeling of future Mars exploration missions.
The mysterious Inca city on Mars was attacked by «black spiders» — what did the satellite images really show?
Arachnophobes can rest easy — new ESA satellite images of flocks of black spiders on Mars actually show a seasonal phenomenon common to the planet.
Astronomers see rainbow for the first time outside the solar system — near distant «hellish planet»
We are talking about the exoplanet WASP-76 b, which delighted researchers with a bright light show, better known as «gloria» — until now it has been observed only within the Solar System.
