We wrote about Prox B last year. Now, another terrestrial-sized exo-planet in a nearby star’s habitable zone has been revealed. This one also orbits a small reddish star (such stars make up the vast majority of stars in our universe), but the star isn’t as prone to stellar outbursts as Proxima Centauri: Co-discoverer Nicola Astudillo-Defru from the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland told BBC News: "Just because Proxima Centauri blasts its planet with strong flares and high energy radiation, yes, I think Ross 128 is much more comfortable for the development of life. "But we still need to know what the atmosphere of Ross 128 b is like. Depending on its composition and the reflectivity of its clouds, the exoplanet may be life friendly with liquid water as the Earth, or sterile like Venus." Ancient shark from before the dinos caught near Portugal. They mostly come out at night. Mostly. I have one very expensive weakness: Corvettes! I don’t have one now, but I’ve had one before along with several other muscle cars of varying era. And Chevy has released specs on the 2019 model, which only goes a modest 210 MPH. Scientists have put us on notice, again, about climate change and general environmental corruption. Meanwhile, other scientists have zeroed in on the what glacier melt will flood which regions when that all fails—and the Big Thaw really gets going: The upshot is that New York needs to worry about certain parts of Greenland collapsing, but not so much others. Sydney, however, needs to worry about the loss of particular sectors of Antarctica — the ones farther away from it — and not so much about the ones nearer. And so on. Read more
