Getting to Know the Neighborhood: Who Can See Earth Transit?
Out of all the stars around us, which ones would be able to find Earth with the transit method? Today’s paper makes a list, which can help us with future SETI efforts!

Today’s paper reports the discovery of two new transiting Brown Dwarfs using TESS.
TESS is out searching for new exoplanets, but on this occasion, it saw an old one in a new light.
Astronomers have been finding planets around M dwarf stars for a while. Can we go even cooler and find planets around the diverse L and T spectral group?
Interplanetary collisions can explain a number of phenomena in our own solar system — here’s evidence of such a crash shaping the formation of two distant planets. Translate from an Astrobitos bite by Elena Gonzales Egea.
Neighboring exoplanets appear to come in similar sizes. But is this a result of observational bias?
