I forgot to post this yesterday but I decided I'm gonna try to post an interesting video I watched every Peertube Thursday, so here's one for this week:

NASA's TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has released its most complete view of the starry sky to date, filling in gaps from previous observations. Nearly 6,000 colored dots scattered across the image show the locations of either confirmed or candidate exoplanets—worlds beyond our solar system—identified by the mission as of September 2025 at the end of TESS's second extended mission.

The search for Earth 2.0 has begun in earnest. But there's a huge variety of exoplanets out there, so narrowing down the search to focus valuable telescope time on only the best candidates is critical. One variable of a planet that will have a huge impact on its habitability is its size. A new paper, now available in preprint on arXiv, by researchers at the University of California Riverside, looks into the impact of a planet's size on one of its more critical features for habitability—whether it holds onto an atmosphere—and determines that slightly smaller than Earth is likely the smallest a planet can be and still be viable for life to develop.
For decades, the search for life beyond Earth has revolved around a key question: What molecules should scientists be looking for on other planets or moons? A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, suggests that the more revealing clue may not be the molecules themselves, but the hidden order connecting them.
