Newfound Alien Planet is Best Candidate Yet to Support Life, Scientists Say
A potentially habitable alien planet — one that scientists say is the best candidate yet to harbor water, and possibly even life, on its surface — has been found around a nearby star.
The planet is located in the habitable zone of its host star, which is a narrow circumstellar region where temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to exist on the planet’s surface.
“It’s the Holy Grail of exoplanet research to find a planet around a star orbiting at the right distance so it’s not too close where it would lose all its water and boil away, and not too far where it would all freeze,” Steven Vogt, an astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, said. “It’s right smack in the habitable zone — there’s no question or discussion about it. It’s not on the edge, it’s right in there.”

GRAIL Mission Returns First Video of Moon’s Far Side
The twin GRAIL satellites have sent back this first video of the far side of the moon, taken with the awesomely named “MoonKAM”. Quite a view of something we don’t ever get to see (unless you’re an Apollo astronaut or a space probe).
