For the first time, astronomers have spotted a cosy alien planet that might be hospitable to life. The planet is not much bigger than the Earth, and it enjoys balmy temperatures of about 20° C (68° F) as well as spectacular scarlet sunsets. "It's the smallest, lightest planet known at this time," says Stéphane Udry from the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland. "And it's just at the right distance from its star for liquid water to possibly exist on its surface."

Liquid water has flowed on the surface of Mars within the past five years, suggest images by the now lost Mars Global Surveyor (MGS). The results appear to boost the chances that Mars could harbour life.

Corot will be the first spacecraft capable of detecting rocky planets just a few times bigger than Earth that are orbiting neighbouring stars. It will also uncover information on the stars themselves, determining their mass, age and chemical composition. The mission, led by the French space agency Cnes, is due to launch on the 26 or 27 December.

It is a feat millions of times more impressive than finding a needle in a haystack. The new Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has spotted about a dozen spacecraft on the Martian surface and, incredibly, taken pictures of such sharpness that scientists have been able to identify individual rocks that were first photographed by the Viking landers in 1976.

Dark energy - the mysterious force that is speeding up the expansion of the Universe - has been a part of space for at least nine billion years. That is the conclusion of astronomers who presented results from a three-year study using the Hubble Space Telescope.

A new panorama of Mars's Victoria crater has been released in honour of the hardy rover Opportunity's 1000th sol, or Martian day, on the Red Planet. Meanwhile, Opportunity's twin, Spirit, has started moving again after seven months of being parked in the same spot. Opportunity, which celebrated its 1000th sol on Wednesday, took the panorama on 5 October from a perch on the Cape Verde promontory at the edge of the 800-metre-wide crater. Tracks in the Martian soil show the rover's path around Victoria's rim, and wind-sculpted sand dunes sit on the crater floor.

The chief scientist on Nasa's Mars rover mission is contemplating whether to send Opportunity into a large crater with no means of getting back out. The decision could commit the rover to spending its final days exploring Victoria Crater, a 60m-deep (200ft) depression on Mars' Meridiani plains.

NASA's most famous observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope, will get a much anticipated life extension after all. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin announced on Tuesday that a space shuttle will be sent to upgrade Hubble and add a few years to the lifetime of the venerable queen of the sky.

The most detailed panoramic view ever obtained on Mars has been returned by NASA's Spirit rover in time to mark its 1000th Martian day, or sol, on the Red Planet. A total of 1449 individual images representing 500 megabytes of raw data were acquired for the view, called the McMurdo panorama.

Scientists at the Division of Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California, this week said that data streaming from the Venus Express probe had provided unprecedented detail of the Venusian atmosphere and the first-ever peek at its lower strata.
