We don’t know what they are made of… they are made of “planetary material” but that’s it. Too bad we don’t have a space navy or SPACE FORCE that is able to check it out!

Hello there!

“For decades, astronomers wondered if planets with twin suns like Luke Skywalker's fictional home world of Tatooine were only science fiction. Now, scientists have now discovered a new Tatooine-like system that is home to multiple worlds.”

A game changer if proven to be true!

“In a distant star system, a sunlike star orbits an invisible object that may be the first example of a 'boson star' made of dark matter, new research suggests.”

Mistakes were made… this is why we shouldn’t rely on just new technology and why we should visit these new locations in person. Pack your fedoras, space suits, protein pills, and Tang… we’re leaving! (As soon as the ships are ready.)

Hufvud and Andrea Tognarelli are going to be overwhelmed when those interstellar orders start pouring in… get yours in now and beat the rush!

“Intelligent alien life could intercept human transmission into space sooner than we thought, scientists say - Findings add to ability of astronomers to look for signs of technology-use outside Solar System!”

I’m surprised that this is the first time we’ve mentioned “The Eddington Limit” here on the group. The universe is far stranger than current science can explain.

“A couple of planets might host life in Alpha Centauri, but we'll probably have to go there to find out for sure.”

It’s not a matter of if I would go if asked… it’s a matter of which fedoras I can bring with me and who else in my family will go, too.

30 years ago, we did not even know could exist around other . Now, we know of thousands—and some of those planets are possibly habitable. New discoveries are shaking up the field of planetary formation and causing us to rethink our ideas of what stars could host planets and how planets form.
