BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Several years ago, planetary scientist Lynnae Quick began to wonder whether any of the more than 4,000 known exoplanets or planets beyond our solar system, might resemble some of the watery moons around Jupiter and Saturn.
Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa, which scientists classify as "ocean worlds," are good examples.
"So if we're thinking about these places as being possibly habitable, maybe bigger versions of them in other planetary systems are habitable too."

SunPower releases roof-integrated solar system OneRoof
SunPower has released a new roof-integrated solar system, called OneRoof. KB Home is the first homebuilder to offer the product in a new-build home community in the San Francisco Bay Area.
KB Home is using the solar product in California to meet the state’s mandate that all new homes be equipped with solar .
SunPower has been serving homebuilders for 15 years, installing 50,000 new-home solar systems and leads in this segment, with more than 50% market share (according to the company). During the past 18 months, SunPower’s Research and Development team collaborated with KB Home to develop SunPower OneRoof.
NASA Mission to Investigate One of the Solar System's Most Unusual Worlds: Neptune's Strange Moon

One of four concepts being considered for a Discovery Program mission, Trident would investigate one of the solar system’s most unusual worlds.
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft ever to have flown past Neptune, and it left a lot of unanswered questions. The views were as stunning as they were puzzling, revealing massive, dark plumes of icy material spraying out from Triton’s surface. But how? Images showed that the icy landscape was young and had been resurfaced over and over with fresh material. But what material, and from where?
See 14 Mind-Blowing Places in Our Solar System
Our solar system is an undeniably fascinating place, featuring an assortment of celestial oddities and wonders. Between the planets, moons, comets, and asteroids, there's no shortage of places for us to explore. Slowly but very surely, w e're finding all sorts of incredible—and sometimes unexplainable—phenomena.
In this slideshow, we present to you some of the most dramatic and enigmatic places within our home star system.
Scientists aren't entirely sure what it is, citing such possibilities as waves, bubbles, floating solids, and suspended solids (like silt in a terrestrial delta). Also, because Titan was transitioning from spring into summer at the time of the observations, scientists believe the phenomenon is tied to the change of seasons. Like I said, Titan is a very alien place.

BOE to purchase computers, solar system
The Liberty County School Board held their board meeting June 9 and approved the purchase of new computers for the School system and a solar system for Lyman Hall Elementary.
Prior to voting on the action items the board recognized LCSS Nurse of the year Dana Simbras as well as several educators and staff that were retiring.
Chief Operating Officer Arnold Jackson said the district released bids for the Installation of a 25 Kilo-watt solar power system at Lyman Hall Elementary School. The solar power system will be ground mounted and Jackson said would reduce energy consumption by $4,356 annually.
Earth-like planets and ocean worlds could be common in our galaxy, studies say

New estimates and calculations suggest that there are even more Earth-like planets and ocean worlds in our galaxy than previously known, according to new research published this week.
What if our solar system isn't the only hub for these types of planets? Astronomers have discovered more than 4,000 exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system, in recent years. And some of them are similar in size to Earth.
Discovering planets that both resemble Earth and our solar system's ocean worlds across our Milky Way galaxy could make them targets for future telescopes, like NASA's James Webb Space Telescope that is scheduled to launch in 2021. The telescope may be able to characterize these exoplanets and peer through their atmospheres.
Pulte Homes' first solar home available for viewing at Babcock Ranch
BABCOCK RANCH — Pulte Homes is taking a lead from America's first solar-powered town with an innovative, first-of-its-kind solar home in Babcock Ranch.
Pulte Homes' new Summerwood home design is now complete and available for viewing in the Lake Babcock neighborhood. The new home, available for purchase, includes 21 Panasonic HIT 330 watt solar panels with embedded Enphase Microinverters, and a Tesla Powerwall stored energy system that the homeowner can control and monitor with an app.
