Astronomers Discovered Two Exoplanets That May Be Mostly Water

Scientists hope the planets orbiting the red dwarf Kepler-138 won't be the last of its kind to be discovered. As instruments and detection techniques improve, more aquatic worlds like Kepler-138c and Kepler-138d are likely to be discovered.

Hubble Took a Picture of a Forming Jupiter-Like Protoplanet

The newborn planet orbits the protostar AB Aurigae. The planet is a gas giant whose mass is nine times that of Jupiter. The exoplanet orbits at a distance of 8.6 billion miles from its parent star.

Astronomers Discover the Farthest Star From Earth

The star is so far away that its light took 12.9 billion years to reach Earth, and it is now seen as it was when the universe was about 900 million years old, a mere 7% of its current age.
