May 2023 news and research items

Hi everyone please find this month’s Starchart’s and newsletter attached,  

There is a very interesting mix of papers this month, I have just finished reading the one on Antarctica tonight which was very interesting.

There are a few interesting ones on exoplanets, and red dwarfs. A look at the Moons of Uranus possible water oceans still under there surfaces?

There is an interesting video and article on the Kuiper belt.
