A team of researchers, led from Lund, has discovered a small planet that has a peculiar way of moving in its orbit. The wobbling planet TOI-1408c, located 455 light years from Earth, shows that planetary systems can be far more complex than scientists previously thought. The newly discovered planet has a mass equivalent of eight Earths and orbits very close to a larger planet, the hot gas giant TO

They become smaller as urbanisation increases. Troublesome, according to researcher Helena Hanson, because urban private gardens affect both cities’ biodiversity and human wellbeing by functioning as social green spaces.
