For months, silence stretched across stars. At edge of the solar system—more than 24 billion kilometers from Earth—NASA’s Voyager 1 probe had gone quiet, sending only incomprehensible signals into the void. But now, against all odds, Voyager 1 has come back online, astonishing engineers and reigniting hope for one of humanity’s most extraordinary scientific missions.

Using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a planetary system orbiting a youthful star located 300 light-years away. System's of two planets, YSES-1 b and YSES-1 c, are packed with coarse, rough, & frankly irritating silica material (we get you, Anakin, it does get everywhere).
Astronomers say this discovery around a star that is just 16.7 million years old could hint at how the planets and moons of our 4.6 billion-year-old solar system took shape. As both planets are gas giants, could offer astronomers an opportunity to study real-time evolution of planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
