@futuretimeline.bsky.socialNASA’s next major telescope might see alien oceans and rainbows
The upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) should be able to spot the glint of water on habitable planets, and maybe more
The HWO is currently earmarked for launch in the 2040s.

Nuevo planeta creado por mi en 3D.
Kepler-62f. Se trata de un exoplaneta ubicado a 1.200 años luz del sistema solar, una supertierra de al menos 2,8 veces la masa terrestre con una gravedad posible del 141% , orbita a una enana naranja (una estrella más fría que el sol) ↓
@freegardener.bsky.socialNASA's Roman Telescope could find 100,000 new exoplanets—16x all confirmed worlds so far. Launching 2027, it'll survey the cosmos like never before. #NASA #Space #Exoplanets #Astronomy

@cosmicoptics.zovintus.comMeet TOI-849 b: a bizarre, stripped exoplanet 730 light-years away. Lacking a thick gas envelope, this ultra-dense world is a rare planetary core, offering a unique glimpse into extreme evolution.

@earthskyscience.bsky.socialAbout 3/4 of known #exoplanets were discovered using the #transitmethod, when the planet passes in front of its star. Or scientists measure a tiny orbital "wobble" as the star and its planet orbit a common center of gravity. 🪐🌌

@formingworlds.spaceAccepted earlier this year in A&A, work led by Mara Attia (@marattia.bsky.social) tackles a core problem in exoplanet interiors:
"PALEOS: Multiphase equations of state and mass-radius relations for exoplanet interiors" 🌍
@earthskyscience.bsky.socialSuper-Earths are rocky #exoplanets orbiting distant stars, much larger and more massive than Earth, but smaller than Neptune. Astronomers have found over 1,800 of them! Our own solar system has no #superEarths. But many distant star systems do.

@bowieseminar.bsky.socialThe BOWIE+ seminar autumn schedule is out! Next week, we will begin with a talk by Matthäus Schulik of Imperial on his work on atmospheric escape. The rest of the autumn will be highlight talks by early career researchers. To get the zoom links, see the details in our bio. #exoplanets #astronomy
