AW Around the Clock: March 2017
NASA Announcement
On February 22, 2017 at 1:00 P.M, NASA made an announcement regarding another solar system. They stated that life may have developed on three different dwarf planets in the solar system. That star is around 500 million years old and is called TRAPPIST-1. At least seven planets around the size of the Earth have been spotted orbiting the star which is “approximately 8 percent the mass of and 11 percent the radius of our Sun,” says Henry Bodkin on telegraph.co.uk. Life has a good chance of thriving in this solar system, with possibilities of water and reasonable temperatures. However, according to statistics, planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1 would take very few days to complete a revolution compared to Earth taking hundreds. Many people were thinking that NASA had discovered aliens before they made their announcement. Who knows? Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t. But I’m excited to see what this new solar system has to offer!

2.) A scream echoed through the halls as the lights flickered, and then finally went off, plunging the room into darkness.
