![]() Musk further explains that the Saturn V is the largest rocket that has ever reached orbit and was the rocket that took the human race to the moon. The SpaceX CEO says that he spends most of his day working on getting Starship to orbit, describing the process as " complicated" and " challenging" as Starship is " more than double the thrust of the Saturn V and twice the weight". Very few exoplanets have been found with radii between 1.5 and 2 times the radius of Earth in what's known as the small planet gap.Ĭontinue reading: Space mystery could be solved by these 'shrinking' planets (full post) Fascinating new molecule discovered, made from light and matterĮlon Musk's SpaceX has been developing Starship for quite some time, and recently Musk sat down with the Full Send Podcast to discuss its timeline ahead of its expected first orbital launch. Mini-Neptunes are a class of exoplanets (a planet found outside of our solar system) denoting planets larger than Super-Earths (exoplanets that have between 1 and 1.5 times the radius of Earth) but are smaller than Neptune. ![]() ![]() The four mini-Neptunes exist relatively close to their host stars and have been observed steadily losing their atmosphere to said stars. The previously known one is TOI 560b, and the three new ones are TOI 1430.01, TOI 1683.01, and TOI 2076b, with all of them being between 2.1 and 2.8 times the size of Earth. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have analyzed three newly discovered exoplanets known as mini-Neptunes, and a fourth mini-Neptune discovered earlier this year.
