Good morning all,
 I know it has been a while since I have sent out an update but have been crazy busy, always having fun, and time disappears….I know many of you are in year end testing as the school year winds down….I think I blinked and lost April….it is really strange to think many schools will be finishing this month….many cool events within the space program… I was at the Space Center for the launch and  landing of the Space X rocket….fascinating…I hope you can find time to share it with the kids….then the Cassini mission through Saturn’s rings….I included the link from my friend Janet of Janet’s Planet….http://janetsplanet.com <http://janetsplanet.com/> on building a Viking Lander…I think it could be a fun project at some point….and my favorite, the Aurora….which I am hoping to see this year in Norway…..if you get time, I know…right :-)… I hope you can open some of the links and share them with the kids….also including the link on seeing the ISS….we have to always remember to do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, be appreciative of the good in our lives, make each day special, let those we care about most know, smile & have fun! Gabe

Illustration of an Earth-Sized 'Tatooine' Planet
 <https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/earthsun20170412.png>
With two suns in its sky, Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine in "Star Wars" looks like a parched, sandy desert world. In real life, thanks to observatories such as NASA's Kepler space telescope <https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/kepler/main/index.html>, we know that two-star systems can indeed support planets, although planets discovered so far around double-star systems are large and gaseous. Scientists wondered: If an Earth-size planet were orbiting two suns, could it support life?

It turns out, such a planet could be quite hospitable if located at the right distance from its two stars, and wouldn't necessarily even have deserts. In a particular range of distances from two sun-like host stars, a planet covered in water would remain habitable and retain its water for a long time, according to an April 6, 2017 study <https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/earth-sized-tatooine-planets-could-be-habitable> in the journal Nature Communications.

This illustration shows a hypothetical planet covered in water around the binary star system of Kepler-35A and B. In reality, the stellar pair Kepler-35A and B host a planet called Kepler-35b, a giant planet about eight times the size of Earth, with an orbit of 131.5 Earth days. For their study, researchers neglected the gravitational influence of this planet and added a hypothetical water-covered, Earth-size planet around the Kepler-35 A and B stars. They examined how this planet’s climate would behave as it orbited the host stars with periods between 341 and 380 days.
