About our Planets and Moons news

Latest news on planets, including solar system exploration, exoplanet discoveries, NASA and ESA missions, Mars research, and astronomical observations from space telescopes.

The study of planets continues to expand our understanding of the cosmos, with space agencies and observatories worldwide discovering new worlds and revealing secrets about our cosmic neighbours. Recent advances in technology have enabled scientists to identify over 5,000 confirmed exoplanets, with thousands more candidates awaiting verification.

Space agencies are actively exploring our solar system, with missions studying Mars, Venus, and the outer planets. NASA's Mars rovers continue their groundbreaking research, while new missions to Jupiter's icy moons and ambitious plans for Mars sample return missions promise further discoveries. The European Space Agency's PLATO mission prepares to search for Earth-like exoplanets, while powerful telescopes reveal unprecedented details about planetary atmospheres and formation.

The search for potentially habitable worlds has captured public imagination, with scientists and researchers working to understand the conditions necessary for life beyond Earth. Citizen science projects have enabled enthusiasts to participate in planet hunting, while educational outreach programmes bring planetary science into classrooms and communities worldwide.

Humanity's fascination with planets dates back to ancient civilisations, who tracked their movements across the night sky. The invention of the telescope in the 17th century revolutionised our understanding, while the space age brought unprecedented close-up views of other worlds. Each generation of instruments and missions has revealed new wonders, from the first exoplanet discovery in 1992 to today's detailed studies of planetary systems in formation.

Our NewsNow planets feed delivers the latest updates from space agencies, research institutions, and astronomical observatories worldwide.
