    TRAPPIST-1 planets might be rocky but not potentially habitable. They are way out of the habitable zone. Thanks to Prof. Abel Méndez

    Inspirations: Are We Facing the Great Filter? | Cockburn's Eclectics
    https://cockburndj.wordpress.com/2016/07/20/inspirations-are-we-facing-the-great-filter/
    The Fermi Paradox asks why we appear to be the only technological species in a galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars.
    Robin Hanson proposed a ‘great filter’ that prevents life from developing further than we have.

    Asteroid that formed moon's Imbrium Basin may have been protoplanet-sized
    http://phys.org/news/2016-07-asteroid-moon-imbrium-basin-protoplanet-sized.html
    Around 3.8 billion years ago, an asteroid more than 150 miles across, roughly equal to the length of New Jersey, slammed into the Moon
    and created the Imbrium Basin—the right eye of the fabled Man in the Moon. This new size estimate, published in the journal Nature,
    suggests an Imbrium impactor that was two times larger in diameter and 10 times more massive than previous estimates.

    Direct Imaging Discovery of a Jovian Exoplanet Within a Triple Star System
    A Planet Living on the Edge | astrobites
    https://astrobites.org/2016/07/20/a-planet-living-on-the-edge/

    There’s a tug-of-war in the HD 131399 system. A planet, HD 131399Ab, is being pulled in two directions. On one side is the massive star HD 131399A.
    On the other is a pair of smaller stars HD 131399B and HD 131399C. The more massive HD 131399A is winning, but the battle is the most evenly matched
    that has ever been observed. The planet’s orbit is just barely stable. Orbiting far away from its primary host, it could be sent crashing inwards
    or tossed out of the system altogether.

    Do Galactic Bars Buckle to Form Bulges?
    http://aasnova.org/2016/07/20/do-galactic-bars-buckle-to-form-bulges/
    The Milky Way is one of many galaxies that has a peanut-shaped bulge at its center. A new study has now
    caught two galaxies in the process of forming similar bulges, yielding insight into how ours was created.

    N-body simulations showing the result after a galactic bar buckles. Bottom panels:
    two examples of real galaxies (NGC 3185 and NGC 3627) with B/P bulges matching simulations.

    Celebrating Viking: Gilbert Levin Recalls the Search for Life on Mars - The Crux
    http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/.../20/celebrating-viking-gilbert-levin-life-on-mars/#.V4_CZLt95hE
    Forty years ago today, the first of two landing probes of NASA’s Project Viking touched down on planet Mars.
    Discover contributor Dr. David Warmflash spoke with Dr. Gilbert Levin, whose Labeled Release (LR) experiment
    was one of three instruments delivered by the Viking landers to look for Martian microorganisms in 1976.

    At age 92, Levin is the only survivor of the three biology experimenters and he’s looking ahead to 2020 when
    he hopes to have another instrument on the Martian surface looking for life.



    Forty Years Ago, We Landed On Mars... And Found Life?
    http://www.forbes.com/...g/2016/07/19/forty-years-ago-we-landed-on-mars-and-found-life/#55c240f416a9
    Forty years ago, for the first time, a spacecraft from Earth willfully landed on the Martian surface, and looked for signs of life.
    One of the experiments came back with a positive result, and those results are still open to interpretation. The question of whether
    there’s microscopic life on Mars is still an open, unanswered one, as no strong conclusion has been reached either way.

    Protoplanets Collision Modulation
    4D2U Project Website : Download
    http://4d2u.nao.ac.jp/t/var/download/GiantImpact_e.html
    In the region where the terrestrial planets formed in our Solar System, about ten to 20 Mars-sized protoplanets
    formed first through the accretion of planetsimals. Our terrestrial planets are thought to have been formed through
    collisions among these protoplanets. These collisions are called “giant impacts,” and Earth and Venus likely experienced
    many giant impacts. In particular, the final giant impact on Earth created our Moon. This video shows a typical giant
    impact between two Mars-sized protoplanets, which likely happened early in the giant impact stage.

    Exoplanet Exploration: Planets Beyond our Solar System: NASA's Hubble Telescope makes first atmospheric study of Earth-sized exoplanets
    https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/...le-telescope-makes-first-atmospheric-study-of-earth-sized-exoplanets/
    Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have conducted the first search for atmospheres around temperate, Earth-sized
    planets beyond our solar system and found indications that increase the chances of habitability on two exoplanets.

    Specifically, they discovered that the exoplanets TRAPPIST-1b and TRAPPIST-1c, approximately 40 light-years away, are unlikely
    to have puffy, hydrogen-dominated atmospheres usually found on gaseous worlds.

    BepiColombo mission to Mercury on track for April 2018 launch
    http://phys.org/news/2016-07-bepicolombo-mission-mercury-track-april.html
    Humanity's next visitor to the solar system's innermost planet remains on track for April 2018, according to the project's scientist. The BepiColombo mission,
    being developed jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), is currently ahead of final acceptance tests that
    will prepare it for shipment to the launch site.

    "BepiColombo is on track for launch in 2018. At the moment we are preparing for some final acceptance tests. On our 'Mercury Transport Module' (MTM) we need to
    finish the installation of some late deliveries and then the module has to undergo a thermal verification and thermal balance test. This is to prove that the
    thermal shielding of this spacecraft module works as predicted by the models," Johannes Benkhoff, BepiColombo project scientist at ESA, told Astrowatch.net.
