Spitzer Finds Possible Exoplanet Smaller Than Earth

Astronomers believe is an alien world just two-Thirds the size of Earth - one of the Smallest on record. It was Identified by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The exoplanet candidate, Known as UCF-1.01, orbits a star Called GJ 436, Which is located a mere 33 light-years away. Might be UCF-1.01 to the nearest world That is our solar system than our home planet Smaller.

Hubble Sees Stars of Steam

Comparatively FEW galaxies POSSESS the far-reaching, luminous spiral arms or brightly glowing center of our galaxy the Milky Way home. In FACT, MOST of the Universe's galaxies look like small, amorphous clouds of steam. One of these galaxies is DDO 82, Captured here in an image from the NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
