    Gaia just made an unexpected discovery 🪐

    Using data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission, scientists have found a huge exoplanet and a brown dwarf. This is the first time a planet has been uniquely discovered by Gaia’s ability to sense the gravitational tug or ‘wobble’ the planet induces on a star. Both the planet and brown dwarf are orbiting low-mass stars, a scenario thought to be extremely rare.

    Thanks to the incredible precision of our Gaia mission, scientists have discovered potential moons orbiting over 350 asteroids! This nearly doubles the known number of ‘binary asteroids,’ revealing a whole new layer of complexity in our Solar System.
