  Hi everyone Please find attached this month’s newsletters, starcharts and some of the highlights.   With Juno taking a stunning close up view of Ganymede I have included two interesting papers on the Moon, there is also a link to volcanism on Europa to. While on the subject of Moons there is an interesting look at Exo Moons some of these could be large worlds in the habitable zone. There is an interesting look at the possibilities of life on sub Neptune and super earth Planets which I need to read. The article on the Polar dinosaurs in Alaska was interesting. Again these are a whole range of interesting news items out this month some of my favourite are below.   Winter has arrived here this week in Wellington and were back into Covid Level 2 here hopefully the restrictions end this Monday, things In Sydney and Fiji look concerning and the Auz travel bubble has been paused again too.   Cheers Edwin       Research papers...
