The second discovery from the COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS) program, COCONUTS-2b, is the second-coldest (434 K), second-widest-orbit (6,471 au), and nearest (10.9 pc) exoplanet imaged to date.

The bulk composition of radius-valley planet TOI-1634 b supports the gas-depleted formation mechanism to explain the emergence of the radius valley around M dwarfs with mass less than ~0.5 solar mass.

New modeling of Jupiter’s moon Europa predicts that its outer icy shell is ~23–47 km, providing useful estimates for future space missions and interesting implications for the physical processes on icy satellite surfaces.
