Michelle York+FollowA New Mini-World Just Showed Up!Did you hear? Astronomers just found a new mini-world in our Solar System called Ammonite, and it’s HUGE—up to 380 km wide! What’s wild is its orbit is super weird, hinting at some ancient cosmic drama (maybe a rogue planet or a passing star?). This discovery could totally change what we think about the Solar System’s history—and it even throws shade at the whole Planet 9 theory. Space is full of surprises! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #SolarSystem131Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowA Giant Planet Was Hiding in Plain SightPlot twist: Astronomers just found a massive alien planet—35 times heavier than Earth—lurking in a star system we thought we knew inside out! Kepler-139f was basically invisible because it didn’t pass in front of its star from our view, but scientists cracked the case by tracking the weird tugs and timing of its neighbors. Turns out, there could be even more hidden worlds out there. Space is seriously full of surprises! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #Exoplanet428133Share
Michael Flores+FollowNASA Spots a Super Earth Flashing SignalsNASA just found a wild new 'Super Earth' planet 154 lightyears away that's literally flashing us a mysterious signal. This planet, TOI-1846 b, is almost twice as wide as Earth and four times heavier, and it’s got a weird mix of rocky and icy layers—maybe even a shallow ocean. The catch? It’s 300°C on the surface, but water could be hiding on its dark side. Alien life? Probably not, but this is one for the space nerds! #Science #NASA #SpaceDiscovery10936Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAncient Space Radio Signals Unlocked!Astronomers just picked up 10-billion-year-old radio signals from a galaxy cluster way out in space—and it’s blowing their minds. These signals, called mini-halos, have never been found this far before and could totally change what we know about how the universe formed. The wild part? Scientists think these could be from either supermassive black holes spitting out energy or cosmic particle collisions. Basically, we’re only starting to uncover how wild and energetic the early universe really was! #SpaceDiscovery #Astronomy #ScienceNews #Science413Share
megangibson+FollowWebb Telescope Might’ve Spotted a Baby PlanetImagine catching a planet in the act of shaping its own solar system! The James Webb Space Telescope just snapped what could be its first-ever planet—a tiny, chilly world orbiting a young star only 34 light-years away. If confirmed, it’s not just Webb’s first direct planet pic, but also the lightest exoplanet ever seen this way. This little guy might even be carving out rings in the dusty disk around its star. Space drama, anyone? #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #Exoplanet #Science90Share
martinezlaura+FollowGiant Planet Found with Einstein’s Trick!Astronomers just spotted a massive Jupiter-sized planet, AT2021uey b, chilling 3,200 light-years away at our galaxy’s edge! What’s wild? They used Einstein’s theory (microlensing!) to catch its shadow—this method’s only been used three times before. The planet takes over 11 years to orbit its star. Imagine finding a planet by watching how its gravity bends light, like spotting a bird by its shadow. Space is seriously next-level detective work! #SpaceDiscovery #Astronomy #Einstein #Science431Share
Tamara Jones+FollowWebb Just Snapped a New Planet!NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just did something wild—it snapped its first-ever direct pic of an exoplanet! Usually, scientists have to play detective with shadows and star wobbles, but Webb saw this planet (about the size of Saturn!) 100 light years away, no tricks needed. It’s the lightest exoplanet ever caught on camera, and the tech they used is basically like making a mini solar eclipse. Space just keeps getting cooler! #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #Exoplanet #Science231Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowAlien-Hunting Telescope Finds Hidden Planet!James Webb Space Telescope just spotted its first-ever exoplanet, TWA 7 b, hiding in the glare of a distant star—and scientists almost missed it! This planet’s about the size of Saturn but is one of the lightest ever found. Thanks to a special tool that blocks out the star’s light, JWST is now opening the door to finding even smaller, Earth-like worlds. Space nerds, this is a major win for planet hunters! #SpaceDiscovery #JamesWebb #Exoplanet #Science70Share
martinezlaura+FollowUniverse’s First Light Decoded?Scientists just picked up a radio signal from over 13 billion years ago—basically the universe’s baby monitor! This 21-centimetre signal could finally spill the tea on how the first stars and galaxies lit up the cosmos. With new radio telescopes like REACH, we might soon know what those OG stars were really like (spoiler: they’re nothing like the ones we see today). Space nerds, this could change everything we know about our cosmic origins! #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicOrigins #Astrophysics #Science50Share
Tamara Jones+FollowTiny Galaxies, Huge Universe Glow-UpThe James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a bunch of tiny galaxies that might have totally transformed the early universe! These little guys pumped out so much ultraviolet light, they could’ve cleared the cosmic fog and made the universe transparent during the Era of Reionization. Imagine: galaxies so small you’d need thousands to match the Milky Way, but together, they lit up the cosmos. Proof that even the smallest things can make a massive impact! #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery #Galaxies #Science90Share
