Astronomers discovered a ‘marshmallow’ world orbiting a red dwarf star
Astronomers have discovered a strange “marshmallow” world 580 light-years away from Earth. The planet, which orbits a red dwarf star, is believed to be the lowest-density gas giant we have ever detected. Astronomers observed the unusual planet, w.....»»
Webb reveals unprecedented glimpse of merging galaxies
Using the James Webb Space Telescope to look back in time at the early universe, astronomers discovered a surprise: a cluster of galaxies merging together around a rare red quasar within a massive black hole. The findings by Johns Hopkins University.....»»
"Marshmallow" world orbiting a cool red dwarf star
