```html The study of exoplanets is challenging enough with the immense distances and glare from the host star, but astronomers have taken planetary system explorations to the next level. A team of astronomers from Trinity College Dublin have recently announced that they have observed belts of icy pebbles in systems

Life Would Struggle to Survive Near Wolf 359 Red dwarfs provoke thoughts of the classic British TV science comedy series from the 1990s named after them. However, the stars themselves bear little resemblance to the show. These small, intrinsically red stars can unleash flares and coronal mass ejections that rival

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is gearing up for an exciting and busy year in 2025, following the challenges faced in 2024 and a serious fire incident affecting workers' homes. Despite these challenges, the laboratory has maintained its commitment to ensuring mission operations remain on track and

**Introduction** The study of planetary disks around stars is critical for understanding planet formation and evolution. The discovery of double planetary disks, such as those found in the binary star system DF Tau, presents a unique opportunity to explore the intricacies of star and planet formation in a shared environment.

A spacecraft takes between about seven and nine months to reach Mars. The duration of travel is contingent on various factors such as the spacecraft's speed and the relative positions of Earth and Mars in their orbits around the Sun. NASA's recent mission, Perseverance, encapsulated this

China has achieved a significant milestone in its space endeavors with the recent launch of the classified TJS-14 satellite. This satellite is part of an ongoing series of experimental technology missions to expand China's capabilities in satellite communications and related technologies. The launch took place on January 23,

On January 23, 2025, the World Monuments Fund (WMF) announced that the moon had been included on its threatened historic site list. This initiative arises in response to the expanding scientific and commercial activities on the lunar surface, which have the potential to irrevocably alter the moon's environment.

What will it take to reach zero space debris? By Evan Gough, Universe Today The space debris problem won't solve itself. We've been kicking the can down the road for years as we continue launching more rockets and payloads into space. In the last couple of

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense bursts of radio frequency emissions that last only a few milliseconds. Their origins are still one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics, with hypotheses ranging from colliding neutron stars to the enigmatic behavior of magnetars, the most magnetic objects in the universe. However, a
