- 1TESS-Discovered Neptune-Like Exoplanet TOI-1710 b in Spotlight●Name: TOI-1710 b A Neptune-like giant planet. Distance from Earth: 265 light-years Year discovered: 2022 Discovered by:
Astronomers are highlighting TOI-1710 b, a Neptune-like giant planet located 265 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2022 by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), the planet has a radius about 5.34 times that of Earth and a mass of roughly 28 Earths, orbiting its star once every 24.28 days. Details of its size, mass, and orbit are being circulated among space enthusiasts discussing recent exoplanet finds.
- 2Scientists Say Solar System May Have 10 Planets▼Scientists Say Our Solar System May Have 10 Planets After All
A claim circulating online says scientists believe the Solar System may contain as many as ten planets rather than the recognised eight. The assertion revives long-running debate over the 2006 demotion of Pluto and the search for undiscovered bodies beyond Neptune. No specific research findings or named institutions accompany the claim, so its scientific basis remains unverified.
- 3Animated Solar System Series Continues With Triton And Callisto Date●Triton And Callisto Go On A Date - Part 2
The animated series SolarBalls has released a second part of its storyline imagining moons Triton and Callisto going on a date. The episode continues the show's approach of anthropomorphizing planets and moons from the solar system into characters with personalities and relationships. Viewers are following the ongoing romantic subplot between Neptune's moon Triton and Jupiter's moon Callisto, a fan-favorite pairing in the series.
- 4Neptune's distance from Earth now measured at 4.32 billion kilometres●2026-10-10 12:00:00 UTC (Delta: 2026-10-03) NEPTUNE - Distance (km): 4,324,978,034.28 km (+3,698,023.30 km) - Distance (
Latest figures put Neptune at roughly 4.32 billion kilometres from Earth, about 28.91 astronomical units, with light from the planet taking just over four hours to reach us. The data shows Neptune moving slightly farther away, gaining close to 3.7 million kilometres over the past week, while its orbital speed holds steady at about 5.47 km/s. The update was published alongside NASA/JPL imagery of the planet.
- 5Voyager probes still exploring interstellar space nearly 49 years on▼NASA’s Voyager mission is still exploring interstellar space nearly 49 years after launch. Voyager 1 is humanity’s most
NASA's Voyager mission continues operating in interstellar space almost half a century after its 1977 launch. Voyager 1 remains humanity's most distant spacecraft, while Voyager 2 is still the only probe to have visited Uranus and Neptune. Both carry the Golden Record, a message from Earth to any life that might encounter them, and their endurance continues to inspire admiration.

Kepler-1314 b is a Neptune-like giant exoplanet located 463 light-years from Earth. Discovered in 2016 by NASA's Kepler telescope, it has a radius about 5.11 times that of Earth and completes an orbit in just 5.42 days. Astronomy communicators are sharing the planet's profile alongside NASA's Eyes on Exoplanets visualisation, drawing renewed attention to the Kepler mission's catalog of worlds beyond the solar system.
- 8Astronomers may have found first direct evidence of Planet Nine▼We may have found the first direct evidence of a ninth major planet in the Solar System
Astronomers report what could be the first direct evidence of a ninth major planet in the Solar System, a long-hypothesised distant world sometimes called Planet Nine. If confirmed, the discovery would restore the Solar System to nine major planets and reshape understanding of the outer reaches beyond Neptune, where the object is believed to orbit.
