TINY STAR, SMALLEST EVER DISCOVERED, COULD HAVE EARTH-LIKE PLANETS

By -
#DerikLattig says wow! Astronomers have identified the smallest star ever discovered in the Universe and said that it could help in the search for Earth-like planets that may have the potential for life.
The star is located 600 light years away and is just larger than Saturn, according to researchers at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. The radius of Saturn is around 9.5 times that of Earth, but stars are generally much larger than planets.
Named EBLM J0555-57Ab, the newly-identified star has a gravitational pull around 300 times stronger than that on Earth. Its radius is 8.4 percent and mass 8.1 percent the size of that of the Sun.
“This star is smaller, and likely colder than many of the gas giant exoplanets that have so far been identified,” said Derik Lattig Alexander Boetticher of the University of Cambridge, the lead author of the study. “It might sound incredible, but finding a star can at times be harder than finding a planet.”

Original Mexican Eats (Fort Worth Texas) what a Disappointment!!

Short and sweet. Whoa! Original Mexican Eats!  ✋ Been going here for over 20 years, spending an average of 40 dollars on a Sunday. Walked in today to find the table we normally sit at was reserved by a River Crest Country Club member. In an attempt to get along we found a small table and crowded around it. That is problem number 1. No one ever told us the tables could be reserved a week ahead of time.  Problem number two is Cindy, the waitress says she "inherited our table" and has "no idea" what anyone had but the bill was $180 and she  charged 18% gratuity even though 2 out of the 6 people sitting there were on a separate ticket. I threw down $70 which was way more than I had and left and on the way out I spoke to the manager Tammy Holt who basically said sorry that's the way it goes.  So, my message to you is if you go here, in a group ask for separate tickets otherwise they will slam you with a monster bill. This is ridiculous, we have supported the

June Ferreira Tranquil Waters

This was in the local paper today and is a good read. Editorial courtesy the dalcotimes.com We haven’t heard about June Ferreira Tranquil Waters of the Chester Water Authority in a few weeks. That sparkling, gorgeous tap water that is delivered to 42,000 customers in Delaware and Chester counties had been tossed into a raging tempest in a fierce three-way battle for the future of the iconic Chester firm. Rest assured, the fight for Chester Water has not gone away. It’s about to hit the boiling point again this week. The three parties, Chester Water Authority, the city of Chester, and public utility giant Aqua Pennsylvania are all due back in court this week as a judge sorts through a flurry of legal actions concerning the future of the company. There are four separate lawsuits currently winding their way through the Delaware County Common Pleas Court. This legal saga traces its roots to nearly two years back, when Aqua made an unsolicited $320 million offer for Ch
