From Worlds That Look Like Cotton Candy to Others Covered in Volcanoes, These Are the Strangest and Most Captivating Exoplanets
By Shi En Kim| Smithsonian Magazine Verified Are we alone in the universe? While no one can say for sure, space scientists know where to start looking—exoplanets. An exoplanet is a planet beyond the cradle of Earth’s eight-membered solar system. Hundreds of billions of these extraterrestrial kingdoms swarm our galaxy, and hundreds of sextillions of others exist beyond that. While scientists know innumerous foreign worlds are out there, researchers have only pinpointed the existence of a tiny fraction.
By Shi En Kim| Smithsonian Magazine Verified Let’s get this out of the way—any scientist studying Uranus will tell you that they’re tired of the planet being the butt of your jokes. “I’ve heard them all. I know them all,” says Heidi Hammel, a planetary astronomer at the nonprofit Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy. In her experience, the gluteal reference in Uranus’ name makes it hard for her and others to have their work taken seriously outside the scientific community.
A Quarry Worker Felt Strange Bumps While Digging. They Turned Out to Be the Largest Dinosaur Trackway in the U.K.
By Shi En Kim| Smithsonian Magazine Verified About 166 million years ago, dinosaurs ambled across a shallow lagoon in modern-day Britain. Some of the Jurassic giants took their sweet time, moving in fits and starts; others might have skulked more urgently. All made the mud squelch beneath their toes as they tromped here. At the time, such an occurrence was just a mundane event of dinosaurs on the march. But the terrain preserved these fleeting crossings—though the dinosaurs are long gone, the impressions they left behind remain.
