Proxima Centauri b is the closest known exoplanet to our solar system that is thought to be within the habitable zone of its star.

For the first time since its launch on Christmas Day 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new exoplanet, TWA 7 b, in the debris disk of a young star.

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.

ESA's Solar Orbiter returns historic images of the Sun's south pole, unveiling mysteries of our nearest star and its magnetic field.

Images of the north pole are still being transmitted by the spacecraft back to Earth. Solar Orbiter, developed by ESA in collaboration with the US space agency NASA, was launched in 2020 from Florida.
