Science or Fiction ()
Item number one. An international team of scientists have discovered that super-sized space tornadoes may explain why the sun's atmosphere is much hotter than its surface. Item number two. Astronomers have detected what they believe to be the first trinary planetary system - three exoplanets sharing the same orbit. And item number three. Astronomers have developed a new method for both accurately weighing exoplanets and detecting the composition of their atmosphere, even those that are non-transiting.
Skeptical Quote of the Week ()

J: Prof. Steven Hawking!
