Getting to Know the Neighborhood: Who Can See Earth Transit?
Out of all the stars around us, which ones would be able to find Earth with the transit method? Today’s paper makes a list, which can help us with future SETI efforts!

This astrobite looking at a star that is moving so fast, it can escape our galaxy. But is everything as it seems?
A probabilistic approach to making better astronomical source catalogs.
A new analysis technique, that fits simultaneously for light-curve systematics and transit signals, finds 36 planet candidates in the K2 dataset — Kepler is still in the game!
Of Kepler’s 2,321 planet candidates, many are in the “habitable zone.”
