Our #solarsystem could host two habitable planets today, according to recent simulations from a group of @NASA researchers. #exoplanets https://t.co/6gTsvTKS2Q

While Earth's orbit is nearly circular & it moves at a stable speed around the Sun, Mars doesn't. Its orbit is more elliptical & its speed varies. So while Earth's seasons change on the same dates year after year, Mars' seasons don't. #SeasonsChange https://t.co/yNJ2LuJsdF

To detect this super-Earth's water, the UCL researchers developed their own open-source algorithms which they applied to analyze K2-18’s starlight as it filtered through its planetary offspring’s atmosphere. #DiscoverTogether — @Forbes https://t.co/DupHeDoptb

A team of astronomers has now successfully identified the most massive neutron star on record called J0740+6620, the star is 2.14 times as massive as the #Sun, and measures about 15 miles in diameter. #Astronomy — @VICE https://t.co/2wSknGPCgP

"It's exciting to picture our new telescope out in space, exploring the universe, and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of human knowledge." - Scott Smith @NASAWFIRST telescope manager https://t.co/i7Ftbf3MDe

Water has been discovered in the atmosphere of a "super-Earth" exoplanet orbiting its star within the habitable zone. While the exoplanet's atmosphere isn't expected to be "habitable" by human standards, this is a remarkable discovery: https://t.co/CzkgUzdnPp

"It would be a dangerous volcanic world.. a place where Jedis go to die, perilously familiar to Anakin Skywalker," Apurva Oza, postdoctoral fellow at the Physics Institute of the University of Bern in Switzerland, said. — @UPI #MayTheForceBeWithYou https://t.co/bsnys87jQ5
