Time to brush up on your origami skills. NASA is asking the public for ideas on how to make a starshade that could be tucked into a rocket, launched into orbit and then unfurled in space to a size of 330 feet (100 meters) in diameter.
The space agency is looking for a lightweight, low-mass, fuel-efficient design. It needs to pack up small for launch and then open up big once in space. It would also need to be able to maneuver into precise positions so it would line up with telescopes on Earth.

Undead planets: Study explains the peculiar conditions of the first exoplanet discovery - Tech ...
In 1992, almost 30 years ago, astronomers discovered the first-ever exoplanets around a pulsar called PSR B1257+12. In a new study, astronomers revealed that such planets might be extremely rare.
Astronomers reached this conclusion after surveying 800 pulsars, followed by the Jodrell Bank Observatory over the last 50 years. The survey revealed that the first exoplanet discovery might be extraordinarily uncommon: less than 0.5% of all known pulsars could host Earth-mass planets .

Planet Venus is an oddity- a space oddity. Considering that Venus was formed within the solar system, it should have been doing what other planets are doing as far as rotation is concerned and since it is not doing so, there must be a reason behind that.
Though there are no such confirmed explanations of why Venus spins backward, there are a few theories that might answer this question and one of the answers includes a lot of destruction.
If Neptune's orbit moves 0.1%, it could destabilize the entire solar system, study says
Researchers at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada, created simulations which observed how close a passing star would have to be in order to alter a planet in our solar system’s orbit and cause a chain reaction of changes, along with the chances of that happening.

North Texas Research Could Help Missions to Mars – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
In an SMU laboratory, researchers are hoping to make big steps in space exploration with a small device.
It's a prototype sensor to measure the speed of a spacecraft entering the atmosphere of another planet, like Mars.
"This is fantastically exciting," SMU Senior Associate Dean and Professor Volkan Ötügen said. "You want your sensors to be as small and as light as possible so that there's more room for additional payload. So our sensors are miniaturized and they're extremely light."
