It is Thursday, Space Fans, and while that means the week's nearly over, it also means it's time for a new edition of what's up in space and we've got an ace discovery for you to start with today. Scientists using data from NASA's TESS spacecraft and an Antarctic telescope have found a truly strange system of exoplanets. Here's why it's unlike anything we've ever seen.
And that's not all, of course. We've got a NASA budget update from Jared Isaacman, a new look on the search for E.T., and a 'breathtaking' find from the James Webb Space Telescope. See it all below. But first ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured the first detailed images of planetary nebula Tc 1, revealing new details of what happens after a sun-like star dies. But what are "buckyballs" anyway, and what do they have to do with anything?

Scientists seem obsessed with interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. They seriously can't get enough. And today's newest story aims to pin down where it came from in a star system far, far away. Here's what scientists know.

The iconic sci-fi novel "The Night of the Triffids" paints a terrifying view of an alien invasion by space plant, so I'm always tickled by views of the actual Trifid Nebula in the sky like this stunning new one from the Hubble Space Telescope. Here's what to know about the photo.

April sure seems to be THE month for moon missions. In our space history flashback today, we're going back to 1962 when NASA launched the Ranger 4 mission to the moon. Spoiler: It didn't end well. See how it happened in our On This Day In Space video.

And that's a wrap for today's news from space! The weekend is nearly here, Space Fans, and I hope it's a good one.
For astronauts on the ISS, it'll be great because Russia's Roscosmos is launching a fresh cargo ship to crew on April 25. But you'll have to come back then to see it live on Space.com.
Until then, keep looking up!
