Exoplanet K2-18b circles a red dwarf star 110 light years away in the Leo constellation. Using data from Hubbell’s telescope, scientists have detected atmospheric water vapor, a first for an exoplanet. The exoplanet is bigger than Earth and may contain life. It is relatively close so Little Green Men may visit us. (artist’s rendering & actual invader photo)

This morning (9-11-19) I was with children and couldn’t pay my proper respects. People of many faiths and nationalities died this day. The heartaches will never end, but I hope the families involved will find peace.
