Mars may have once hosted life. In 2024, Perseverance found minerals that, on Earth, would be clear biosignatures. A big discovery—but not yet proof of life beyond Earth. Plus: TRAPPIST-1e, a folly of a new Moon race, and the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS.

Which kind of planet have we found the most of? Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are unknown from our own Solar System, but around other stars they are very common. Learn more about this strange type of planet in our article:

How do we find planets around other stars? The most successful method so far is the transit method, which has discovered over 4000 exoplanets so far. Learn all about the transit method, its challenges and possibilities, with our article:

A large cargo ship named VAARWEL, painted in blue and white, is sailing through a canal. The ship has a flag at its front and is passing under an open drawbridge in the background. The canal is lined with trees on both sides, and the sky above is bright blue with scattered white clouds. A few people are visible on the bridge and near the water’s edge. In the foreground, at the bottom right, a small boat with a single person inside floats near the ship.
A large green truck from Kübler Spedition is transporting a massive container wrapped in a protective tarp. The container displays several logos and text, including the logo of the European Space Agency (ESA), indicating it is part of a specialised transport operation. In the background, there is an industrial building with large metal silos under a blue sky.
In a cleanroom environment, two individuals wearing blue lab coats and hairnets are working around a large spacecraft. The spacecraft is covered in protective plastic sheeting and mounted on a white transport platform labelled with technical instructions.
In a cleanroom environment, a group of engineers wearing protective coats, gloves, and face masks are working on a large spacecraft component. The component is mounted on a white wheeled platform. The top of the spacecraft carries 26 cylindrical cameras. The workspace is surrounded by structural supports and white fabric walls, creating a clean and controlled environment.
Welcome, Plato! 🤗
On 1 September, the spacecraft arrived in the Netherlands by boat from Germany via the Rhine River.
In the coming weeks, engineers will add the sunshield & solar arrays and carry out tests to confirm Plato is ready for launch 🚀

Illustration of a planet silhouetted in front of a star. The star shows a large eruption on one side and more wisps of red coming from its southern hemisphere. Two more planets appear in the background.
The TRAPPIST-1 d exoplanet may be Earth-sized 🌍 but it has no Earth-like atmosphere.
Webb’s #NIRSpec has found no traces of molecules that are common in Earth’s atmosphere.

If confirmed, this would mark a major milestone in exoplanet science, as the new planet – though likely a gas giant – would be the closest to orbit in the habitable zone of its star.
