An exoplanet has been discovered in a very strange star system more bizarre than most science fiction storylines.
Where DO baby planets come from? Well, this observation of a
young star sporting a ringed protoplanetary disk holds the answer.
California-based SETI Institute plans to expand a hunt for
radio signals broadcast by extraterrestrial civilizations by scanning
red dwarf stars, which are older and smaller than stars like the sun.
Astronomers have, for the first time, mapped a nearby
'super-Earth' exoplanet to find that one hemisphere is almost completely
molten rock, while the other half is almost completely solid.
