Zachary Gutierrez+FollowWe Just Saw a Solar System Being Born!Astronomers literally caught a baby solar system in the act of forming planets—like, the exact moment rocks started clumping together around a newborn star called HOPS-315, 1,300 light-years away. Using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA, they spotted the same minerals that seeded Earth, all swirling in a disc just like our own asteroid belt. It’s the first time anyone’s seen this step outside our Solar System. Basically, we’re watching planets being born in real time! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #PlanetFormation153Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowAncient Spiral Galaxy Shocks ScientistsAstronomers just spotted a massive spiral galaxy, Zhúlóng, that looks like the Milky Way—but it’s 12.5 billion years old! This thing already had sweeping arms and a dense core when the universe was just a baby. The kicker? Galaxies this organized weren’t supposed to exist so early. Now scientists are scrambling to rethink how quickly cosmic order can emerge. Turns out, the universe may have gotten its act together way faster than anyone thought! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #JamesWebb14512Share
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 #SolarSystem8411Share
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 #Exoplanet696178Share
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 #SpaceDiscovery20447Share
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
