Recent observations of a K type star (orange dwarf slightly smaller than our Sun) have detected a Saturn like planet just outside of the Habitable zone. The star in question is 2MASS J01340514-1425090 (trips off the tongue!), 624 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cetus.
It’s thought to be one of the first near Habitable zone finds of a gas giant using the transit technique, something usually better suited for red dwarf stars and transits of a few days at most.
THe gas giants in our Solar System all have a fair number of moons, so equally such large exoplanets are likely to have their own satellites, opening the possibility of an Earth like moon circling such a gas giant, although this particular one is probably a bit close to its star.

Mars Perseverance rover 'go for launch,' says NASA The mission is timed for a launch opportunity in July 2020 when Earth and Mars are in good positions relative to each other for landing on Mars. That is, it takes less power to travel to Mars at this time, compared to other times when Earth and Mars are in different positions in their orbits. . . . https://mars.nasa.gov › participate Web results Send Your Name to Mars: Mars 2020 Perseverance .

When Hubble was first placed in space, a issue with it’s mirrors blurred the telescopes images. A space walk to fix the issue was a huge success, and a crystal clear image of M100 Galaxy sprung into life.
Fast forward over 25 years later, and an upgrade carried out in 2009 to add the Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, took a further leap in quality.
M100 is 55 Million light years away and part of the Virgo super cluster of galaxies (which our Milky Way is also a member) with the massive M87 elliptical galaxy making up one of the main galaxies in that group (of recent Black Hole image fame !).

Seven Milky Way worlds could harbour life, say astronomers (after just a year of hunting) Written by Damien Gayle The Habitable Exoplanets Catalog (HEC) celebrated its first anniversary with the announcement that it had exceeded expectations in its search for possible new Earths. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEGyDtHHFZ/?igshid=a6zdhu14qb3y
NASA now is targeting Oct. 31, 2021, for the launch of the agency’s James Webb Space Telescope from French Guiana, due to impacts from the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as technical challenges. This decision is based on a recently completed schedule risk assessment of the remaining integration and test activities prior to launch. Previously, Webb was targeted to launch in March 2021. https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3Oa6FnTeQ/?igshid=17ss7ti1cfo15
