Three decades of searching have produced roughly 6,300 confirmed planets beyond our Solar System. NASA’s Roman Space Telescope, targeted to launch August 30, could reveal around 100,000 more during its five-year primary mission—with some simulations placing the potential haul as high as 200,000.

NASA's 100,000-planet Roman forecast is mainly a transit yield; a pixel-level study spans 60,000 to 200,000, with most detections expected to be close-orbiting giants.

Sex is biologically expensive, so why did evolution keep it? Harvard scientists put the question to yeast

Harvard researchers studying yeast have found evidence that sexual reproduction can provide an evolutionary advantage, particularly when environments change. Across 960 generations, sexually reproducing yeast populations became fitter than asexual populations and performed better under shifts in temperature, salinity, acidity and phosphate levels. Scientists suggest sexual reproduction helps reshuffle genes, separating beneficial mutations from harmful genetic “baggage” that can accumulate through asexual reproduction. The findings offer new experimental insight into why sex persists despite its evolutionary costs.
