Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

Kristen Radtke / The Verge

Bluesky feels like the big winner right now.

I’ve been covering Bluesky ever since I got my invite in April 2023.

NASA spotted a very young planet. It could become a super-Earth.

Astronomers got lucky.

NASA has confirmed over 5,780 worlds beyond our solar system, called exoplanets. But it's rare to detect a juvenile, still-maturing planet, because they inhabit chaotic systems that are flush with obscuring dust and gas.

"A huge planet with a long name – IRAS 04125+2902 b – is really...
