April 2024 News, research Items and Starcharts Hi Folks, the biggest event of the past month was meeting Lisa Kaltenegger from Cornell, she gave an interesting presentation on one of my favourite research subjects. That being the e nvironments and condition on a range of Exo planets. While not able to see it in person watching some of the live stream and all the photos of the eclipse from the states was enjoyable. The most interesting papers out this month to catch my attention were the search for an Outer Ice giant, the search continues there. Pluto has a good look in with a look at the details of Sputnik Planitia. There is also work from Cornell on exoplanets as well.
