Since the invention of the telescope, astronomers have been hunting for objects in our Solar System in particular and more recently, for the theorised 9th planet. Observations of Kuiper Belt objects suggest a large object might be lurking in the depths of the Solar System but to date, it hasnt been directly observed. A team of researchers have analysed infrared sky surveys and found 13 objects that matched the estimated flux and motion of Planet Nine! Further analysis ruled out 12 leaving a single object. Is this Planet Nine?

A few years ago, astronomers discovered an exoplanet orbiting the white dwarf 1856+534 b. Now they've used the mighty JWST to do follow-up observations and made some exciting discoveries. It's definitely a planet and not a brown dwarf, with a temperature of 186 K (-87C/-125F) and about 6 times the mass of Jupiter. This makes it the coldest exoplanet ever detected, and it's orbiting in the "forbidden zone," which should have been engulfed during the red giant phase.

It marks the species' first freedom eggs since they went extinct in the wild in 1988.

A mountain lion, perhaps? Or maybe a black bear? Turns out, its neither.

It's a sobering reminder of the impact of human activity on the Earths natural processes and materials.

It is isolating and exhausting living in a world of strangers.

Color associations are deeply embedded in the statistical structure of language.

One particular young star HD 135344B appears to show an unusual vortex structure.

The ancient Egyptians may have conceptualized the Milky Way in the same way as Native Americans.

Its a pretty fundamental question in terms of the origin of complex matter in the universe, Anirudh Patel said in a NASA statement. Its a fun puzzle that hasnt actually been solved.
