I know I'm not the only one who likes to read about new planet discoveries and other Space intrigue.  We have a new candidate for life-supporting planets, and like all the others, it's the "best one yet."

Pretty exciting, really.

This is neat vid!

 

Only five more sleeps until the images are released!

Space is fun. Telescopes at my lake are tremendous especially in fall... the northern lights are phenomenal

...

Willott said he's seen some early test images already.

"It's super exciting to finally see the data getting released," said Willott. "I've been looking at these images for months now. And they are just so spectacular, and it's really exciting that the whole world is going to get to see them on Tuesday."

I'd be shocked if they went all in on exoplanet picture so early but its what people want.

Exoplanet atmosphere's have been done already just no pictures.

Amazing exploration of the universe. Now if we could just get our s#it together on this planet. 

Sorry, just saw the January 6 hearings and saw that there are forest fires and +30 degree temperatures north of the Arctic circle. Feeling a little fatalistic. 

Wow- amazing video. Too bad it's not of a planet. 😁

To quote the late John Prine :

Poor old Pluto now

He never stood a chance no how

When he got uninvited to

The interplanetary dance 

Once a mighty planet there

Now just an ordinary star

Hanging out in Hollywood

In some old funky sushi bar
