For most of human history, our view of “close to the Sun” was defined by the orbit of Mercury, with its 88-day orbit and barren, baking surface. But from the moment we started discovering exoplanets, ...

Imagine a world the size of Neptune, but instead of following the orderly path of its neighbors, it is racing headlong against the flow of its own solar system. In the case of the exoplanet TOI-1710 b ...
