  1. The most common type of planet in the known galaxy is one that does not exist in our solar system — a world larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, a size our own neighbourhood entirely skipped, now counted in the thousands across NASA’s confirmed exoplanet archive

  2. The most common type of planet discovered in the Milky Way may be a world that does not exist in our solar system — larger than Earth, smaller than Neptune, and wrapped in an atmosphere we barely understand

  3. An ancient moonpocalypse may explain #Neptune’s odd #moon #Nereid
    The strange satellite was born in a steady, circular orbit around Neptune, then tossed into its elongated orbit during a chaotic encounter with a #Pluto-sized body that ejected or pulverized all its sibling #moons. This idea counters assumption that Nereid formed in #KuiperBelt, the cold reservoir of #space rocks in outer #solarsystem, and was pitched into its present orbit later.
