Movement in the Dust: Detecting Planetary Candidates via Disk Kinematics?
In today’s paper, the authors analyze millimeter and submillimeter ALMA observations of a protoplanetary disk, and find kinematic signs of candidate companions within!

Direct imaging exoplanets is difficult, but a new method of vetting targets has just helped three independent teams discover, and image, a new gas giant.
Investigating the physical properties of galaxies is key to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. With the power of the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers are now able to investigate properties of huge numbers of galaxies in the early Universe.

An extra protoplanet might be lurking in the dust around a nearby star
In 2022, we think of the Big Bang theory as a cornerstone of cosmology, but as recently as a few decades ago, scientists weren’t so sure. Today’s classic astrobite explores one of the final pieces of evidence that helped the Big Bang become the widely accepted idea it now is.
