In a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from McGill University, York University, and the Indian Institute of Science Education detail the fascinating discoveries that have been made about one “lava planet” in particular. Named K2-141b, this exoplanet is about half the size of Earth, per NBC News. The exoplanet was initially […]
Astronomers have deduced that a series of short, powerful radio waves received from space earlier this year are actually coming from within our own galaxy.
