Scientists have discovered a potentially habitable exoplanet and its star that are a "mirror image" of the Earth and the sun.
Experts from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany, led an international team of astronomers in the discovery of the exoplanet-star-pair.
Exoplanet KOI-456.04 is less than twice the size of Earth, but orbits a sun-like star, explains the Max Planck Institute, in a statement. The star is just over 3,000 light-years from the solar system.

How shall we greet him?
Shall we not dread him,

Agricultural cooperatives in Germany rely on power generation with solar modules from Q CELLS |
Agricultural cooperatives in Neukönigsaue in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt are increasing the profitability of their farms by leasing their previously unused rooftop space for solar power generation. During recent rooftop renovations, more than 6,600 Q CELLS Q.PEAK G5 solar modules were installed to create a 2 MWp array.

MADAGASCAR: Wattec installs solar system on ABC's rooftop in Antananarivo | Afrik 21
ABC passe connects itself to green energy. The site of Ivandry’s construction company in Tananarive is now supplied with electricity from a photovoltaic solar power plant that has just been mounted on its roof. The power station consists of 270 solar panels connected to each other by inverters. The 94.5 kWp capacity plant was commissioned by Wattec, an engineering, equipment supply and solar thermal and photovoltaic company based in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar.

Planet Nine is a theoretical, undiscovered giant planet in the mysterious far reaches of our solar system.
The presence of Planet Nine has been hypothesized to explain everything from the tilt of the sun's spin axis to the apparent clustering in the orbits of small, icy asteroids beyond Neptune.
The Kuiper Belt is a collection of small, icy bodies that orbit the sun beyond Neptune, at distances larger than 30 AU (one astronomical unit or AU is the distance between the Earth and the sun). These Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) range in size from large boulders to 2,000 km across. KBOs are leftover small bits of planetary material that were never incorporated into planets, similar to the asteroid belt .
Panasonic bolsters EverVolt battery system by pairing with Span's Smart Panel | Solar Builder
Panasonic today announced a new strategic alliance with smart panel innovator Span , maker of the Span Smart Panel. You may remember it from this article in May: “ Span raises $10.2 million in quest to reinvent the home electrical panel .”
When paired with EverVolt , Panasonic's residential home energy storage solution, consumers gain more control over battery backup power and access to simple whole-home energy management, powered by Panasonic's leading battery technology.
Three Planets From Our Solar System Will Be Visible In Our Skies Every Morning This Month
If you are an early riser and want a peek at our solar system, here's your chance to catch three planets every morning this month. Both Saturn and Jupiter will be very close to one another in the sky for the month and you will be able to spot both of them in the sky.
It will be easy to spot the two planets and we recommend checking the planets out early in the morning — in fact, the earlier the better. If you have a telescope then your view will be obviously better, however, due to the Coronavirus; cities have been experiencing lower pollution levels. Thanks to the clearer skies the planets will be visible for everyone to see.
