We don’t know what they are made of… they are made of “planetary material” but that’s it. Too bad we don’t have a space navy or SPACE FORCE that is able to check it out!
“Scientists discover four world's that are unlike anything else in our solar system…”

Hello there!
“For decades, astronomers wondered if planets with twin suns like Luke Skywalker's fictional home world of Tatooine were only science fiction. Now, scientists have now discovered a new Tatooine-like system that is home to multiple worlds.”

How about an intragalactic / interstellar transit system?
Like a subway/highway through the Milky Way like in the movie “Contact.”

A game changer if proven to be true!
“In a distant star system, a sunlike star orbits an invisible object that may be the first example of a 'boson star' made of dark matter, new research suggests.”

No… this isn’t about John Travolta’s movie career. It’s about how we have to rethink the Hubble constant, and the expanding universe.

Mistakes were made… this is why we shouldn’t rely on just new technology and why we should visit these new locations in person. Pack your fedoras, space suits, protein pills, and Tang… we’re leaving! (As soon as the ships are ready.)

Hufvud and Andrea Tognarelli are going to be overwhelmed when those interstellar orders start pouring in… get yours in now and beat the rush!
“Intelligent alien life could intercept human transmission into space sooner than we thought, scientists say - Findings add to ability of astronomers to look for signs of technology-use outside Solar System!”

I’m surprised that this is the first time we’ve mentioned “The Eddington Limit” here on the group. The universe is far stranger than current science can explain.

Astronomy Tuesday: “Continuing its run of ground-breaking discoveries, the James Webb Space Telescope has snapped the clearest images yet of the dusty disk around the young star Fomalhaut.”

“A couple of planets might host life in Alpha Centauri, but we'll probably have to go there to find out for sure.”
It’s not a matter of if I would go if asked… it’s a matter of which fedoras I can bring with me and who else in my family will go, too.

As time goes on, new telescopes like the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope, the #Earth’s premier space science observatory that launched in 2021, will further expand our understanding of #Exoplanets. Who knows what kind of #ExtrasolarPlanets we will find next!

30 years ago, we did not even know #Planets could exist around other #Stars. Now, we know of thousands—and some of those planets are possibly habitable. New #Exoplanet discoveries are shaking up the field of planetary formation and causing us to rethink our ideas of what stars could host planets and how planets form.

Photo: This artist’s concept compares #Earth (left) to the new planet, called #Kepler452b.
#NASA considers this #Exoplanet and its #Star to be the closest analog to Earth and #Sun so far. Though it’s 60% larger than Earth in diameter, Kepler-452b is thought to be rocky and within the habitable zone of a G-type star similar to ours.
