WASP-11b/HAT-P-10b in Aries (latest discovery)
Anthony Ayiomamitis
Approximately two weeks ago we had the announcement surrounding the
latest exoplanet discovery. To be more specific, two independent
exoplanet hunting teams (WASP and HatNet) announced their discovery of
an exoplanet in Aries which has the least mass of any exoplanet
discovered to-date and which is hosted by an 11.89 magnitude K-type
dwarf star.
Since the WASP announcement preceeded that from the HATNet project
team by a few days, it received priority in the joint naming of the
latest find to WASP-11/HAT-P-10.
For the first amateur light curve surrounding the latest discovery, I
kindly direct you to my result from early this morning based on 4.5
hours total data.

My newly arrived ST-10XME showed off its stuff for first light in a
most impressive fashion and as indicated by the quality of the light
curve. There were transparency issues all evening due to a brief
weather front making its way here and which made things really ugly
near the end of my session.

Good exoplanet info and other feedback.
Epsilon Eridani w/exoplanet of 1.6 Jupiter mass, orbiting at 3.4 AU
from a slightly smaller and cooler version than our sun, as having a
kind of newish and passive star that’s making it likely for life to
exist/coexist on such a planet, though perhaps more than likely upon
one of its moons. Other smaller planets should by rights exist.

Too bad we can’t even explore our Selene/moon, much less Venus or for
that matter any other local planet or moon in person.

I agree, however Venus might as well be reclassified as an exoplanet.
A nearby Epsilon Eridani w/exoplanet of 1.6 Jupiter mass, orbiting at
3.4 AU from a slightly smaller and cooler (perhaps 30% luminosity
because it’s more IR spectrum) version than our sun, as having a kind
of newish and passive star that’s making it likely for life to exist/
coexist on such a planet, though perhaps more than likely upon one of
its magnetosphere protected moons. Of other smaller planets (possibly
Earth or Venus like) should by rights exist.

There’s also some hope for Alpha Centauri A/B hosting a viable planet
or two, as well as our solar system trek through interstellar space
being directly linked to the same barycenter that’s keeping Centauri
and Sirius in charge of our ice age and subsequent thaw cycles.

Too bad we can’t even explore and directly benefit from our
incredible Selene/moon that’s so nearby and absolutely chuck full of
and otherwise holding onto all sorts of nifty stuff, much less fondle
Venus or for that matter any other local planet or moon in person.
Obviously we’re still having too much terrestrial fun at screwing one
another to death, as well as trashing mother Earth for all she’s
worth, and then some. The brown-nosed and pretend-Atheist clownism of
Usenet/newsgroups is the digital AIDS or MRSA version of systematic
intellectual trauma and carnage that’s in full blown global epidemic
mode.
Mainstream media wouldn’t dare extrapolate anything from Google/NOVA
Groups or via Usenet/newsgroups without a full flack suit and loads of
other body armor, including an industrial grade genital cup and butt
plug, full hasmat wetsuit and extra special snorkels or rebreathers
for surviving the cesspools of mainstream orchestrated infowar
disinformation and infomercial spewed crapolla that gets continually
promoted as the one and only truth.
The topic of “cosmological ice ages” and subtopics of global warming
that’s only partially caused by way of artificial means, are simply
deductive formulated analogies, though certainly offering subjective
interpretation as limited only by the best available science, and if
perchance I’m not sufficiently right, then perhaps neither are you or
the rest of your collective mainstream mindset that apparently isn’t
allowed to connect dots, such as those pesky dots of 2e20 N/sec of
interactive tidal force that’s continually existing between Earth and
Selene, that which isn’t exactly keeping us cool.

Thanks Rolando.
I set-up this evening for two exoplanets back-to-back and with about
90 minutes between them but the elements did me in. Back at it again
tomorrow with hopefully better conditions for the transit involving
XO-2b in Lynx at a depth of only 12 mmag.
Clear skies!
Anthony.
