TESS has struck paydirt again. NASA’s planet-hunting spacecraft has found two new super-Earths orbiting a star only 33 light-years away. These are two of the closest rocky planets ever found.
A new paper titled “ The HD 260655 system: Two rocky worlds transiting a bright M dwarf at 10 PC ” announced the discovery. The lead author is Rafael Luque of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia, Spain, and the University of Chicago.

Use this illustration to locate the five naked-eye planets between June 18 and June 27. The moon will help pinpoint each planet on the mornings it appears closest to each planet. Because Mercury and Venus are nearby planets, their positions change quickly.
This illustration shows the positions of the five naked eye planets between June 18 and June 27 from a location above the north pole of the sun. The orbits of these planets are drawn to show their respective sizes and the separations between them and the sun.

What Is A Hot Jupiter? - WorldAtlas
The discovery of 51 Pegasi b had poked a hole in models of planet formation, yet astronomers soon devised a new model that helped explain this anomaly. Called planet migration, this new model suggested that gas giants do, in fact, form in the outer regions of a solar system.
Hot Jupiters are some of the most common types of planets discovered, many of which are unlike anything in our solar system. 51 Pegasi b was the first hot Jupiter discovered and is also one of the most interesting. What would it be like to visit 51 Pegasi b?
Planet Nine: The answer to this cosmic mystery may come sooner than you think
Astronomers know very little about the far outer Solar System — beyond Neptune, Pluto, and the far-flung Kuiper belt .
If true, this planet would be unlike any other in the Solar System. At 10 times the size of Earth, it'd take some 10,000 to 20,000 years to orbit the Sun. For comparison, it takes Neptune only 165 years to make the same trip.
The Different Types Of Star Clusters - WorldAtlas
Globular star clusters generally contain millions of individual stars , the majority of which are low mass, red stars. Lower mass stars burn through their fuel at a much slower rate than high mass stars, and so they exist for far longer periods of time.
One of the largest globular clusters in the Milky Way is Messier 13, a vast globular cluster located in the constellation Hercules. Messier 13 is 145 light years in diameter and 22,180 light years away from our solar system.
A weird star produced the fastest nova on record -- ScienceDaily
Astronomers are buzzing after observing the fastest nova ever recorded. The unusual event drew scientists' attention to an even more unusual star.
The research team, led by Arizona State University Regents Professor Sumner Starrfield, Professor Charles Woodward from University of Minnesota and Research Scientist Mark Wagner from The Ohio State University, co-authored a report published today in the Research Notes of the American ...
New Jupiter-4 plugin brings more solar system synth power to the Roland Cloud | MusicRadar
Released in 1978, the Jupiter-4 was the first Roland synth to bear the gigantic gas giant’s name - in fact, it was the company’s first polyphonic synth.
Famed for its fat, warm sound and straightforward front panel, the Jupiter-4 offered a single VCO, a filter, an LFO section and more.
How Did The Moon Form? - WorldAtlas
For most of human history, the moon was a mysterious object. The moon is so close to the Earth that it is the only celestial object in which we can see surface features with just the naked eye.
Humanity first stepped foot on the moon in 1969 with Apollo 11. From 1969 to 1972, NASA accomplished six successful landings on the lunar surface during the Apollo Program .
