Hi Folks
This past month some really interesting posts on K stars and red dwarfs on Centauri Dreams along with the papers to read on the subjects too.
The Niwa climate summary makes for interesting reading and it’s been a bad summer overall however some warm humid days have arrived in the last few days.
