The Particle Zoo has released plushies based on sub-atomic particles! Each one of them has a unique / personality. They’re perfect for getting your budding super scientist to take an interest in the microverse.
Scientists using the HARPS Spectrograph have recently discovered three “super-Earths” orbiting a star 42 light years away. The findings, which employed new techniques for locating planet-sized objects, shows that there are possibly more planets in the universe than previously anticipated. The smallest of the super-Earths is approx 4x the size of our home world, and all may be too hot to support life.
Just an FYI for anyone attending Balticon 42 this weekend, Dekker is going to be a guest speaker on Sunday with Earl Newton and the crew from Stranger Things. If you’re in Hunt Valley this weekend check it out.
