- 1New Potentially Habitable Exoplanet GJ 3378 b Announced●New potentially habitable exoplanet: - GJ 3378 b: https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GJ_3378# Planetary_system https:// en.w
Astronomers have identified GJ 3378 b as a new potentially habitable exoplanet, orbiting the nearby red dwarf star GJ 3378. The planet has been added to lists of potentially habitable worlds, drawing interest from space enthusiasts and astronomers discussing what its discovery means for the search for life beyond Earth.

A Harvard-led research team reports the first detection of a magnetic field signal from an exoplanet, Beta Pictoris b, a gas giant orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. The observation, described as the first of its kind for a planet outside the solar system, offers a new way to study the interiors and atmospheres of distant worlds. Further details about the method and findings remain limited in early coverage.

The Pandora mission has officially begun its science operations. The small satellite, designed to study exoplanet atmospheres and their host stars, is now collecting scientific data after completing its early checkout phase. The start of observations marks the transition from commissioning to its primary research program.
- 4Radio waves detected from a planet beyond the Solar System for the first time▼A planet beyond our Solar System sends an unprecedented signal: its radio waves detected for the first time
Astronomers report the first detection of radio waves coming from a planet outside our Solar System. The signal, described as unprecedented, marks a new way of studying exoplanets, since until now they were observed mainly through light-based methods such as transits and radial velocity. Researchers hope radio observations will reveal details about exoplanets' magnetic fields and atmospheres.

Astronomers have for the first time detected a radio signal coming from a planet outside our solar system. The detection, reported in Belgian and Dutch media, is being discussed as a potential breakthrough in the search for and study of exoplanets, offering a new way to observe worlds far beyond our own.

The exoplanet HATS-6b is being discussed alongside the James Webb Space Telescope and ammonia, suggesting new findings about the distant world's atmosphere. HATS-6b is a gas giant orbiting a faint red dwarf star, and observations of molecules like ammonia in exoplanet atmospheres are a key goal of the telescope's science programme. Details beyond the hashtags and a link to a French tech news site are limited.
- 7Astronomer creates animated videos of exoplanet orbits●Not that long ago, we couldn't be sure there were exoplanets. Since then, we've found thousands of them -- and now this
Scientists have gone from debating whether planets exist outside our solar system to confirming thousands of them. Now astrophysicist Jason Wang has created animated, extrapolated visualisations of several exoplanet systems orbiting their stars, published on his website and highlighted by Hackaday. Space enthusiasts are sharing the videos, marvelling at how quickly the field has progressed and at the chance to actually see distant worlds in motion.
