"There is no planet B [habitable to human beings]."

"I would never say we can never reach the stars and possible habitable planets."

"The discovery of Gliese 12 b is a stepping stone towards finding potentially habitable planets."

The discovery of several smaller and cooler stars is "the best bet for finding habitable planets."

"[W]e're more likely to detect planets in the habitable zone with TESS [NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite]."

Will We Find Another Inhabitable Planet?

Citizen scientists discovered the most distant and powerful odd radio circle known to date, designated RAD J131346.9+500320, located approximately 7 billion light-years from Earth at a redshift of 0.94, when the universe was half its current age.</span

Citizen scientists discovered the most distant and powerful odd radio circle known to date, designated RAD J131346.9+500320, located approximately 7 billion light-years from Earth at a redshift of 0.94, when the universe was half its current age.

The newly discovered odd radio circle features two intersecting rings spanning 978,000 light-years across, making it only the second known example with this double-ring configuration among the eight ORCs positively identified in the universe.</span

Odd radio circles are enormous structures made of magnetized plasma that can reach 10 to 20 times the size of the Milky Way galaxy, visible only through radio telescopes and detectable across radio wavelengths but invisible at optical frequencies.</span

The discovery was confirmed using the Low Frequency Array telescope, a pan-European radio telescope network with hundreds of thousands of antennas spread across the Netherlands and partner stations throughout European countries.</span

Researchers propose that these radio rings may form from superwind outflows from spiral host galaxies rather than from shockwaves created by merging supermassive black holes or galaxies, as previously theorized by astronomical studies.</span

Future telescopes including the Square Kilometre Array and optical surveys such as the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument are expected to uncover many more odd radio circles and provide insights into their formation mechanisms.</span
