Scientists Discover Potential New Planet Neighboring Earth

Astronomers have detected potential evidence of a new planet in the Oort Cloud, a distant region of the solar system filled with ice and rocks. This discovery could reshape our understanding of planetary formation and behavior, suggesting that large gravitational forces from planets like Jupiter and Saturn may have pushed an ice giant to this remote area. Detecting such a planet is challenging due to its vast distance and faint signals, but future research and advanced observational techniques could confirm its existence and provide new insights into the dynamics of the outer solar system.

Astronomers Capture First-ever Afterglow of Massive Planet Collision

Astronomers have observed the aftermath of a collision between two giant planets for the first time. The collision caused a sudden brightening of a star in infrared light, followed by a fade in visible light. The event was marked by the formation of a massive cloud of dust, which eventually blocked enough light to cause the fading. The collision likely involved two ice giant planets similar to Neptune and Uranus, and the majority of their mass is expected to form a new planet. The researchers have also detected light from this new planet, which may eventually condense to form moons.

University of Georgia researchers find new planet.

Researchers at the University of Georgia have discovered a new planet in another solar system using Artificial Intelligence. The team developed a machine-learning model that could replicate what humans had done for decades. The model looked at hundreds of images of protoplanetary planes taken by the ALMA Space Telescope in Chili, which represent rotating discs of gas and dust surrounded by new stars.
