As the number of exoplanet detections has breached 6,000 and continues to grow, scientists are finding a wide variety of different solar system architectures. Critical to understanding how these architectures take shape is finding young planets forming around very young stars. In 2025, a team of astronomers announced the discovery of a planet about five times more massive than Jupiter around a star that's very much a younger version of our sun.

Incredible new NASA images reveal Saturn in a new light — and it's all thanks to a telescope team-up from Webb and Hubble
Been working on a dataset to add some detail to the rings of Saturn in the form of particles. I'm quite happy with the result, especially the performance. The video shows 1.5 million rock/dust particles. Transitions to/from the ring model are quite seamless.
