Exoplanet detection limits from the neural network framework in the case of HARPS-N solar spectra. Left: Detection limit map in the period-amplitude domain. The red dots indicate the successful detection by the trained NN with a false alarm probability (FAP) > 0.1%. Middle: Amplitude comparison between the injected and recovered signals in the period-amplitude domain. The amplitude difference for most of the recovered signals are < 20%. The large difference at low amplitude (0.1 m/s) is likely due to noise in the data. Right: Phase comparison between the injected and recovered signals in the period-amplitude domain. The phase difference for most of the recovered planets is < 0.04. The large differences at long periods is likely due to a poorer sampling of the phase for long-period planetary signals.--astro-ph.EP

This is an artist's impression of a unique type of exoplanet discovered with the Hubble Space Telescope. The planet is so close it to its star that it completes an orbit in 10.5 hours. The planet is only 750,000 miles from the star, or 1/130th the distance between Earth and the Sun. Credit: NASA, ESA, and A.

This image, taken on Oct. 5, 2025 by the MAVEN spacecraft, shows the coma of gas and dust surrounding comet 3I/ATLAS. Combining data from NASA’s MAVEN, James Webb Space Telescope, and SPHEREx missions helped reveal the comet’s production rates of volatile molecules including water. NASA/Goddard/LASP/CU Boulder
