Possible Rapid Gas Giant Planet Formation in the Solar Nebula and Other Protoplanetary Disks.
TL;DR: New three-dimensional, "locally isothermal," hydrodynamical models without velocity damping show that a disk instability can form Jupiter-mass clumps, implying that disk instability could obviate the core accretion mechanism in the solar nebula and elsewhere.

TL;DR: The Kepler mission detected a five-planet system where all the planets are smaller than twice the size of Earth and where the two outermost planets orbit in the habitable zone of their star, defined as the region where a rocky planet can host liquid water on its solid surface.
