Need to get back to this.  This is the most "earth like" planet ever found to date.  In the habitable zone for life and almost exactly the same size.  I am waiting with bated breath for the atmospheric examination.  This could be it guys.

Few hundred degrees is pretty warm,  Highest survivability for organisms on Earth is 122 C or about 250 F.

NEO detection and planetary defense needs to come a long ways a lot faster.  Glad the Trump and Biden administrations got it right and pumped money into it.

A Spiral Amongst Thousands

A crowded field of galaxies throngs this Picture of the Month from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, along with bright stars crowned with Webb’s signature six-pointed diffraction spikes. The large spiral galaxy at the base of this image is accompanied by a profusion of smaller, more distant galaxies which range from fully-fledged spirals to mere bright smudges. Named LEDA 2046648, it is situated a little over a billion light-years from Earth, in the constellation Hercules.
