What Does the Milky Way Weigh?
Hey Space Placers!
I am sure you are getting your March Madness Brackets set up.
Check out the most accurate to date determination of how much our home galaxy "weighs", or more precisely, how much mass does it contain.
Pretty amazing story and result.
Most of our galaxy's mass is in the form of dark matter - something we can detect by its gravitational influence but cannot see.

Cooking up Alien Atmospheres on Earth
Hey Space Placers!
Now that we have just gone over 4,000 KNOWN PLANETS BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM - known as Exoplanets - with many more to come, research is being done on what they may be like.
Read the story on how alien atmospheres are being made and studied in the laboratory.
Pretty fascinating.

This is a BIG step forward on returning astronauts to space using US built hardware launched from US soil.
I'll have much more tomorrow.
