In a recent study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, a team of international researchers examined exoplanet TOI-4860 b, which is located approximately 80 parsecs (261 light-years) from Earth and has an orbital period of approximately 1.52 days around a low-mass star, or a star smaller than our Sun. Exoplanets orbiting so close to their parent stars aren’t uncommon and commonly known as “hot Jupiters”.

I flew weightlessly on a parabolic flight to see incredible student science soar
Every year, a few Canadian students climb and fall in mid-air for a few precious research moments in microgravity. This is what it's like to fly along.
Want to Find UFOs? That's a Job for Machine Learning
In 2017, humanity got its first glimpse of an interstellar object (ISO), known as 1I/’Oumuamua, which buzzed our planet on its way out of the Solar System. Speculation abound as to what this object could be because, based on the limited data collected, it was clear that it was like nothing astronomers had ever seen. A controversial suggestion was that it might have been an extraterrestrial probe (or a piece of a derelict spacecraft) passing through our system. Public fascination with the possibility of “alien visitors” was also bolstered in 2021 with the release of the UFO Report by the ODNI.

This Distant Galaxy Cluster is Totally Relaxed, Unharassed for a Billion Years
In the span of a human lifetime, much of the Universe seems unchanging. But that’s an illusion; things are always changing, and that fact can make galaxies and the clusters they reside in very unruly places due to mergers and collisions.
A nearby supernova could reveal the secret lives of ghostly neutrinos. Here's how.
By modeling the neutrinos from a supernova as an exotic kind of fluid moving at nearly the speed of light, researchers are searching for signs of how neutrinos can interact with each other.
A New Simulation Reveals One Entire Stage of a Star's Life
Nuclear fusion is at the center of stellar evolution. Most of a star’s life is a battle between gravity and nuclear power. While we understand this process on a broad scale, many of the details still elude us. We can’t dive into a star to see its nuclear furnace, so we rely on complex computer simulations. A recent study has made a big step forward by modeling the entire fusion cycle of a single element.
