Nasa ’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or Tess , recently spotted two new rocky, Earth-like planets around nearby stars, among the closest ever discovered near our Solar System . The two exoplanets orbit a red dwarf star just 33 light years away from Earth known as HD 260655. The planets derive their name from their star: HD 260655 b and HD 260655 c. The planets are “super Earths,” rocky planets like our own, but somewhat larger, with HD 260655 b coming in at 1.2 times the size of Earth and HD 260655 c at 1.5 times the size of our planet. The planets were discovered in Tess data by an international team of astronomers led by Rafael Luque of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia, Spain, and the University of Chicago, and the discovery was first presented earlier in June at the 240th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena California. Launched in 2018, Tess hunts the sky for exoplanets using the transit method, that is, staring at … [Read more...] about Astronomers discover closest rocky ‘super Earth’ planets yet, per Nasa

Podcast host Joe Rogan recently denied facing any censorship at Spotify despite some videos from his YouTube channel not being transferred to the streaming giant as part of a multi-million licensing deal announced in May 2020.

A year ago, tragedy struck at the 117 th Boston Marathon. Four innocent people were killed that week, and hundreds more were wounded. Today, we remember Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, Martin Richard, and Sean Collier. And we send our thoughts and prayers to those still struggling to recover.

Bostonians call it "Marathon Monday," the day the annual 26.2-mile Boston Marathon is held. It's also Patriots Day, when state residents simultaneously commemorate the anniversary of the American Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord. Now, the latter is taking on another meaning, as the title of an upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie about the April 15, 2013 bombings that killed three people and injured 264 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Last June, a judge sentenced the surviving attacker , convicted bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , to death. His brother, Tamerlan, died four days after the bombings. The siblings planted two homemade pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon's finish line, killing Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu and Krystle Campbell. They also were responsible for the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, Sean Collier. CBS Films released a two-minute trailer for the film this week. It shows Wahlberg as the fictional Police … [Read more...] about First look at Mark Wahlberg film about the Boston Marathon bombings, “Patriots Day”
