Astronomers have discovered a gas giant planet with the density of a marshmallow orbiting a cool red dwarf star located 580 light-years from Earth. The Jupiter-like exoplanet is the lowest-density world ever observed orbiting a red dwarf.
"Giant planets around red dwarf stars have traditionally been thought to be hard to form," Shubham Kanodia, study lead author and astronomer at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C.
Looking to move to a galaxy far, far away?
The climate crisis presents a huge challenge to all people on Earth. It has led many scientists to look for exoplanets, planets outside our solar system that humans could potentially settle.
The James Webb Space Telescope was developed as part of this search to provide detailed observational data about Earth-like exoplanets in the coming years. A new project, led by Dr.

The first step, however, is to find them and that is the goal of "PICTURE-C," the Planetary Imaging Concept Testbed Using a Recoverable Experiment-Coronagraph.
Oct. 21 Star Party to view meteors, planets | Bluffton Icon
The public is invited to drop by the Ohio Northern University Observatory, 800 W. Lincoln Ave., between 8:00-10:00 p.m. on Friday, October 21, for the third public astronomy event at ONU Observatory for Fall 2022.
This event is scheduled to coincide with the peak of the Orionid Meteor Shower. This is a popular annual meteor shower that emanates from the constellation Orion.
A Radiative-Convective Model For Terrestrial Planets With Self-Consistent Patchy Clouds - ...
Clouds are ubiquitous – they arise for every solar system planet that possesses an atmosphere and have also been suggested as a leading mechanism for obscuring spectral features in exoplanet observations.
As exoplanet observations continue to improve, there is a need for efficient and general planetary climate models that appropriately handle the possible cloudy atmospheric environments that arise on these worlds.
'Oumuamua still puzzling scientists 5 years after discovery | Space
Five years after spotting the first known object from beyond our solar system passing through, scientists are still figuring out what the strange object says about planetary systems.
Marauding ice giant planets like Neptune could be flinging many trillions of small bodies into interstellar space, some of which visit our solar system , as 'Oumuamua notably did in 2017.

Starfield's Planets Seem Like an Ideal Advertising Avenue
Much of developer Bethesda's upcoming sprawling space RPG Starfield is still unknown. Fans were hoping to get their hands on the exciting first-person shooter this year, but the release date was recently confirmed to be pushed back to early 2023.
Bethesda looks to be attempting to take all the best bits of its previous games, including the mammoth franchises The Elder Scrolls and Fallout , and combining them into what seems to be its largest and most ambitious project to date.
