From exoplanet discoveries to the instruments redrawing the edge of the observable universe, this is where SpaceInfo Club tracks the science of what we see in the sky — and what’s watching back. Coverage spans deep-sky imaging, planetary science, space telescopes like Webb and Euclid, and the missions hunting for worlds beyond our own solar system.
Reporting draws on conversations with working astrophysicists and mission scientists, including astrophysicist Dr Francesca Faedi (University of Leicester, Orbital Innovation Ltd.), who has contributed to the discovery and characterisation of more than 60 exoplanets. See the full list of astronomers and mission scientists we’ve spoken with.

K2‑18b, Hycean Worlds, and Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS): Insights Into Exoplanet Habitability
The discovery and study of exoplanets like K2‑18b have revolutionized our understanding of where life might exist beyond Earth. Among the most promising candidates are Hycean worlds—planets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres and potentially water-covered surfaces. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided tantalizing evidence of molecules like methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and possibly dimethyl
