Astronomers discovered a rare system containing two long-period planets

Using data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, astronomers at MIT, the University of New Mexico, and elsewhere have discovered a rare system containing two long-period planets orbiting TOI-4600.

TOI-4600 is a nearby star located 815 light years from Earth . The second planet has the longest period that TESS has detected to date. It is also one of the coldest, with a temperature of roughly -117 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to the inner planet’s more temperate 170 degrees.

Asteroid 2023 QD2 speeding toward Earth at terrifying speed! | Tech News

Are you aware that there are various space objects existing in our solar system that can be a potential threat to Earth? Asteroids are the most worrisome of them all. Asteroids are the space rocks that orbit around the Sun. Because of their erratic orbits, they can threaten Earth.

According to NASA, asteroid 2023 QD is not a potential threat to the Earth even though it will come very close to Earth. NASA terms asteroids as 'Potentially Hazardous' if they come within 7.5 million kilometers of Earth and have a size bigger than 150 meters.
