@cosmic96.bsky.socialOlder worlds are not necessarily better bets for complex life. A new astrobiology study suggests biological productivity may matter as much as age when choosing exoplanet targets. Today’s signal: cosmicreader.app #Astrobiology #Exoplanets
@newhorizonltd.bsky.socialFor millennia we’ve only imagined what lives under alien stars. Now, direct imaging trades points of light for true portraits—turning distant abstractions into actual worlds we might finally look back at us. #Exoplanets #Space #Space #Exoplanets #NASA

@folbenmedia.bsky.socialLocated 450 light-years away, astronomers confirmed Elias 2-24 b—a planet under 1,000,000 years old! It holds 300 times Earth's mass and orbits 55 times farther from its star. #Astronomy #Space #Exoplanets #FolbenMedia
@samilamby.bsky.socialI had the pleasure of writing an article for @ca.theconversation.com about some of the cool science Roman will do -- including studying the rotation of tiny stars (aka ultracool dwarfs)! Check it out here:

@octavio-12.bsky.socialNuevo exoplaneta hecho en 3D:
Gliese 581d, se trata de un exoplaneta que orbita a la estrella Gliese 581, una enana roja (más pequeña que el Sol) a 20 años luz del Sol. Tendría una masa estimada de 7 veces la terrestre y orbita a su sol cada 84,4 días.

@samillingworth.com🔭 Giant planets keep systems flat
Planetary systems with a distant giant planet keep their orbits closer to one flat plane than random chance predicts. That hints at how planetary systems were built from a spinning disc.

@setiinstitute.bsky.socialWhat will exoplanet science look like in 25 years? 🔭
Dr. Collin Cherubim thinks we'll have data from Earth-like planets that lets us seriously debate whether we're seeing signs of life.
