New research published Wednesday entertains that question, finding nearly 2,000 star systems that have had a front-row seat to observe Earth in recent millennia.
"I started to wonder what stars could see us if we change the vantage point... The cosmos is dynamic, so the vantage point is not forever — it is gained and lost," Lisa Kaltenegger, an associate professor of astronomy at Cornell and a co-author of the paper, tells The Verge .
Two new gaseous planets found by citizen scientists - CNN
(CNN) Two new gaseous planets have been found orbiting a sun-like star 352 light-years from Earth -- and citizen scientists helped discover them while collaborating with astronomers.
Planets abound in July | News | myeasternshoremd.com
Longer daylight hours in summer mean that our skies do not become dark enough for real sky-watching until after 9 p.m. in July.
On July 23 they will be separated by less than the diameter of the full moon. The thin crescent moon will be seen near the pair of planets on July 11 and 12.

The Occurrence-weighted Median Planets Discovered by Transit Surveys Orbiting Solar-type Stars
Inferred masses and radii for planets with masses consistent with Mp ≤ 20 M⊕ at the 3-σ level orbiting solar-type stars listed in Table 1.
Since planet occurrence and primordial atmospheric retention probability increase with period, the occurrence-weighted median planets discovered by transit surveys may bear little resemblance to the low-occurrence, short-period planets sculpted by atmospheric escape ordinarily used to calibrate

NASA's open program enables the discovery of two new planets
Amateur scientists have been able to find two new gaseous planets, as part of a project called “Planet Hunters TESS,” broadcast by NASA Which allows ordinary people to help astronomers and others researchers From space to learn about new celestial bodies.
The so far named “B” and “C” planets are much larger than the planets Tera The motion approaches a star about 352 light-years away.

Astroneer now lets you kickflip across planets on hoverboards | Rock Paper Shotgun
I might have to return to Astroneer . I played it a lot when it was first released, but drifted away like George Clooney in the movie Gravity. What’s grabbing my attention now, a whole two years after the initial release? They just added hoverboards in a new update.
There are new missions to take explorers out to moons and planets, and the usual update tweaks. I particularly like the levelling block, which lets you create flatter surfaces. That seems very useful in the context of the bobbly planetoids.
