Hi everyone   The three big events this month have to be the Solar eclipse in Exomouth in WA some amazing photos from that event. The launch of Starship and the Juice mission to Jupiter are also big events. There isn’t as many papers this month that I have managed to find and read but some interesting reading none the less.         Research papers     Science opportunities with solar sailing smallsats https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.14917       Interstellar Objects https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00568       An Astronomers Guide to Machine Learning https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.00512       A Morphological and Spatial Analysis of Volcanoes on Venus https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023JE007753         Mid-latitudinal habitable environment for marine eukaryotes during the waning stage of the Marinoan snowball glaciation h...

Hi Everyone   Please find this month’s News and Starcharts attached along with all the interesting research.   There is a good look at the Trappist planets that I myself still need to read, these papers also tie in well with the Exo Venuses. Following on from that a few goon ones on Exo planets too. With all the posts about starlink it’s been a real interest for many people and there is a good paper on the issue here too. I feel like I have a lot of reading to do this month. Amazingly it’s a nice mild clear night tonight too here in Wellington, we might be in for a stormy winter too.   Thanks Edwin   Research papers       A good update on the Trappist planets here Thermal Emission from the Earth-sized Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b using JWST https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05951-7     The Demographics of Terrestrial Planets in the Venus Zone https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.03055     A New D...
