Detailed explanation-1: -Scientists at NASA have recently announced that they found a planet that is almost identical (about 95%) to Earth’s size and shape and has a rocky surface. Named TOI 700 e, this new planet orbits within its star’s habitable zone, which also hints at the presence of water on its surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -New Horizons is a NASA mission to study the dwarf planet Pluto, its moons, and other objects in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system that extends from about 30 AU, near the orbit of Neptune, to about 50 AU from the Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -In August 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to cross into interstellar space. However, if we define our solar system as the Sun and everything that primarily orbits the Sun, Voyager 1 will remain within the confines of the solar system until it emerges from the Oort cloud in another 14, 000 to 28, 000 years.
