Red Giant Destroying Planet - V2
Astronomers at NOIRLab (Tucson, Arizona, USA) have detected what they believe is the
first sighting of the destruction of a gas giant
planet caused by the expansion of its ageing red giant star. All sun-like stars
expand as their nuclear fuel runs ou...

Kepler 1708b - V1
Kepler 1780-b is a gas giant exoplanet orbiting the
F-type star Kepler 1708, some 5500 light-years from Earth. Orbiting at a distance of
1.64 astronomical units from its star, the planet has a mass of 4.6 times that of
Jupiter but is estimated to be ...

Surface Mass Ejection
A surface mass ejection (SME), depicted in this illustration, is a relatively
recently discovered phenomenon in stellar astrophysics. They are similar to coronal
mass ejections but on a far larger scale. During an SME, a star can release hundreds
of ...

Fountains of Enceladus
We are a few thousand kilometres from Enceladus, a mid-sized icy moon of Saturn. In
2005, the Cassini spacecraft discovered that this relatively small world - only 500
km across - is, surprisingly, geologically active. Geyser-like jets of water were ...

Juno at Io
On 30 December 2023, the Juno spacecraft, exploring the Jovian system, approached the
volcanic moon Io at a distance of just 1500 km (930 miles). A similar encounter is
scheduled to take place on 3 February 2024. The probe is monitoring the moon's vo...

Europa - V5
Europa is one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter, and the second closest to the
planet (after Io). Its surface is a shell of fractured ice but very few craters, as
the latter are eradicated by surface movements of the ice almost as soon as they
ar...
