NASA broadcast live today, announcing the discovery of 7 Earth-like planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST-1.

NASA believes three of the planets are in the habitable zone, which means it potentially has liquid water on the surface and the planet is not too hot or too cold to sustain life.

“This is very promising for the search for life outside our solar system,” said Michael Gillon, astronomer at the University of Liege in Belgium, during the press conference.

You can watch the conference below, it is about 50 minutes long and covers a lot of information.

Choctaw Bass

No, it's not bigfoot but any time a new species of any type is confirmed it gives all of us bigfoot believers hope.

Scientists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife have confirmed a new species of black bass in the southeastern United States.

The Choctaw Bass, as it is being called, is very difficult to distinguish from the spotted bass. This is why the new species has remained undiscovered until recently.

Scientist searched for the same DNA profile among bass in nearby rivers to help confirm the new species.

Cool indeed.

Thanks
