Elektra was first discovered in 1873, orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Oblong-shaped and 260 km across on its longest side, it is a relatively large asteroid and completes an orbit of the sun every five years. In 2003, the first moon was discovered orbiting Elektra, and in 2014 a se…

💥 New exoplanet - Proxima d
A third planet has been detected orbiting the closest star to our solar system, Proxima Centauri. It is estimated to be just 25% as massive as Earth, or around twice the mass of Mars, the planet – known as Proxima d – is one of the lightest exoplanets ever found. Using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, the team looked at how the star wobbled under the gravitational pull from orbiting pla…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @Universe_And_Science. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
