Meet NGTS-4b, the ‘Forbidden Planet’ that defies the odds! This Neptune-sized exoplanet orbits dangerously close to its star, surviving in the ‘Neptunian Desert’—a region where planets like this shouldn’t exist.

Located 922 light-years away, it’s 20% smaller than Neptune but blazing hot at 1,000°C (1,832°F)!

Scientists are baffled by how it managed to hold onto its atmosphere despite extreme stellar radiation.

Could this be a new class of exoplanets?

Astronomers have identified a rogue black hole, designated OGLE-2011-BLG-0462/MOA-2011-BLG-191, freely drifting through the Milky Way galaxy.

This stellar-mass black hole is located approximately 5,000 light-years from Earth, in the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm.

It possesses a mass about 7.1 times that of the Sun and travels at a velocity of 28 miles (45 kilometers) per second.
