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. I’ve felt the platform has always had promise, especially with features like feeds with custom algorithms and the ability to let users pick their own moderation filters.

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...
