In the winter of 1609 Galileo Galilei pointed his newly built astronomical telescope at the planet Jupiter, and saw that the mighty planet was joined by smaller points of light. Over the course of the next few months he watched as four points of lights danced around the planet.
A new instrument on a powerful telescope has enabled astronomers to discover another planet around our nearest stellar neighbor.
Astronomers have found evidence of a third planet circling Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf star that lies just 4.2 light-years from the sun.

It’s the first mission of its kind, set to monitor our active and unpredictable Sun and help protect us from its violent outbursts – and it has a new name.
Once known as “Lagrange,” ESA’s upcoming space weather mission needed a new name that would reflect its vital role: helping to protect Earth’s infrastructure, satellites, inhabitants and space explorers from unpredictable but violent solar events like solar flares and ‘coronal mass ejections’.
The obsession for nostalgia continues unabated.

Where did Earth’s water come from? One of the oldest meteorites on Earth is adding new pieces to an old puzzle.
Trying to piece together the appearance of life on Earth is a little like looking through a kaleidoscope. There are competing theories for where Earth’s water came from, and there’s incomplete evidence for how the Moon formed and what role it played in life’s emergence. There are a thousand other questions, each with competing answers. Sometimes, contradictory research is published within days of each other.
