It’s An Eyeball Summer, and Other Weird K/M-Dwarf Habitable Climate Tales
Today’s authors compare small K-dwarf and M-dwarf planetary climates!
UR: A Spectroscopic Study on Hα Variability
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, Stan DeLaurentiis asks how reliable our Hα measurements of low-mass stars really are? And are they really solely influenced by a star’s magnetic activity?
Safely Gather-ing for Conferences during COVID
How can we safely convene for conferences during the pandemic? A tool called Gather may be the solution.
Cosmic Archaeology from an Ancient Pulsating Star
Is the gravitational constant really constant? Today’s authors investigate using an 11 billion year old star.
And now, the smallest star ever.
Read on to learn more about the discovery of the smallest star ever seen.

The simulations reported by today’s article, however, show that many of these planets should be expected to be extremely water-rich, and maybe uninhabitable. But it all dependes on how the systems evolve.
