The discovery was confirmed by a team of international researchers after a series of observations using multiple instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope. The initial discovery was made by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which detected a transit—a slight dimming of the star as the planet passed in front of it. Further investigation […]

The Blue Origin Catastrophe: A Setback That Shakes the Industry
On May 28, 2026, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket exploded during a pre-launch “hotfire” engine test at Space Launch Complex 36. The rocket—standing 98 meters tall, the most powerful in Blue Origin’s fleet—was destroyed, and the launch pad was left “practically destroyed,” with engineers estimating at least six months of repairs. No one was injured, but the […]
