NASA's Tally of Planets Outside Our Solar System Reaches 6,000
The milestone highlights the accelerating rate of discoveries, just over three decades since the first exoplanets were found.
The official number of exoplanets - planets outside our solar system - tracked by NASA has reached 6,000. Confirmed planets are added to the count on a rolling basis by scientists from around the world, so no single planet is considered the 6,000th entry. The number NASA's Parker Solar Probe Sails Through 25th Sun Flyby
NASA's Parker Solar Probe completed its 25th close approach to the Sun on Sept. 15, matching its record distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface.
Parker Solar Probe checked in with flight controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland - where the spacecraft was also designed and built - on Sept. 18, transmitting a Western researchers support international collaboration for planetary defence
A large international collaboration of nearly 100 researchers, led by Western adjunct professor Auriane Egal, has completed the first-ever comprehensive study of an asteroid tracked from space through to its impact on Earth. The analysis of asteroid 2023 CX1 represents a unique opportunity for both science and planetary defence.
The asteroid, quite ordinary by space rock standards, explode NASA will say goodbye to the International Space Station in 2030, and welcome in the age of commercial space stations

Webb explores largest star-forming cloud in our galaxy
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a colourful array of massive stars and glowing cosmic dust in the Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) molecular cloud, the most massive and active star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy.
The dynamic drone-rover duo with a special bond
The martian landscape is not the easiest terrain to get around. Some areas are too rocky for a wheeled rover to cross, and elsewhere a lack of distinctive features in the landscape can cause problems for a camera-based navigation system. For a flying drone, such a navigation issue can mean the difference between a safe landing and a crash. Dielof van Loon, a student from Delft University of Technology, investigated what would happen if the two explorers – rover and drone – teamed up.
