Just like that, our solar system shrank from nine planets to eight, and most of us shrugged and moved on.

How Much Does It Cost to Launch a Person Into Space — and Why Is It Getting Cheaper?
Picture this: you hand over a check large enough to buy dozens of apartments in a major city. In return, you get a nine-minute ride. That's it. Nine minutes of sheer, stomach-dropping wonder before you're back on the ground. Sounds absurd?

Exoplanet Atmospheres: Unexpected Discoveries That Are Changing Astronomy
For most of human history, planets beyond our Solar System were the stuff of speculation. Even after the first exoplanets were confirmed in the 1990s, they remained distant abstractions—numbers in databases, shadows in starlight, or subtle gravitational wobbles. Today, however, astronomers are doing something that once seemed impossible: directly probing the atmospheres of worlds orbiting other stars. And what they are finding is far stranger and more diverse than anyone expected.
