Who couldn’t use a smile these days? A triple conjunction between two planets and a crescent moon are forecast to create the appearance of a smiley face in the early hours of April 25. @LiveScience has more:

Are there signs of life on alien planet K2-18b, or is it just a lot of hot air?
An ocean world that's teeming with microbes — and who knows what other kinds of life — is currently the best explanation for some chemical signatures that the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted in the atmosphere of a distant planet.

Scientists have found what they call the strongest signs yet of possible life beyond our solar system, detecting in an alien planet's atmosphere chemical traces of gases only produced on Earth by biological processes. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/17/world/evidence-life-on-alien-planet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #space #planets
The protoplanetary material that coalesced to form the Earth had lots of intrinsic hydrogen bound with sulphur - probably enough to support hypothesis that Earth's water came from outgassing of mantle rather than being supplied by comets and asteroids.

That includes the Nancy Grace Roman Space #Telescope, which has been designed to study distant #galaxies & faraway #planets from an orbital outpost about a million miles from Earth. The hardware of the Roman is in place & being integrated & tested at #NASA’s Goddard #Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. The Roman is scheduled to launch as early as Sept 2026.

The Moon's orbit led to an occultation of the Pleiades star cluster, a rare event where it passes in front. This epoch lasts from 2023-2029, with the next in 2042. A composite image from Spain highlights the cluster's blue glow.
