New Images Reveal Young Solar Systems Filled With Secret Planets

This image presents a grid of color-enhanced astronomical observations, each depicting a circumstellar disc—structures of dust and gas surrounding stars. Every square in the grid represents a different star system, identified by catalogue names such as “HD 105”, “HD 377”, or “TWA 25”. The discs vary widely in shape, size, and orientation: some appear as

AEMO charts Australia’s rooftop solar boom to 42.5GW by 2036

AEMO charts Australia’s rooftop solar boom to 42.5GW by 2036

The report states that rooftop PV capacity will expand from 25.1GW in 2026 to 42.5GW by 2036, while non-scheduled PV generation between 100kW and 30MW will grow from 1.9GW to 4.8GW over the same period. This expansion reflects the rapid adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) by Australian households and businesses, driven by policy incentives,

An extra solar system planet once orbited next to Earth — and it may be the reason we have a moon

An illustration of the ‘giant impact’ between Earth and the proto-planet Theia. New research indicated the two may have been extremely close neighbors before their unfortunate falling out. (Image credit: MPS / Mark A. Garlick) The catastrophic collision that forged the moon, and marked one of the most consequential events in Earth’s early history, may
