When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I showed this to my dad and he thought it was WAY cool. And I showed it to mom and Mark too!

Then I googled planet with an atmosphere like Earth and it turns out that one was found last year, like 20 million light years away. It has gravity, and water and they think the temperatures on it are between 40-100 degrees. So it could very well hold life on it. It's so far away that even a really good telescope just shows it as a very dim star.

Then me and Dad got lost on You Tube watching videos of UFO's. haha
