Scientists Appear to Have Spotted an Unknown Planet in Nearest Star System to Earth
Thu, August 7, 2025
"If it's real, it's amazing," Elisabeth Matthews, an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany, told Scientific American. "The authors work hard to make a case for why this, frankly, small and faint blob of light is believable, but I think there are still some open questions that need to be answered to really be 100 percent sure."
by me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

Moe: Say, Barn, uh, remember when I said I'd have to send away to NASA to calculate your bar tab?
Barney: Oh ho, oh yeah, you had a good laugh, Moe.
Moe: The results came back today.
Moe: [reading a printout] You owe me seventy billion dollars.
Barney: Huh?
Moe: No, wait, wait, wait, that's for the Voyager spacecraft.
Barney's tab is fourteen billion dollars.

Quotes
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I want this battalion to be the class of the division. I expect my non-commissioned officers to lead by example. Public fighting and insubordination to civilian authority are not what I call good standards!
Highway: It was a minor altercation, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: That seems to be a habit with you, Gunny! A year ago you hit an officer. I went to Annapolis with that man. You try that with me, Gunnery Sergeant Highway and you'll drag your butt in a sling for a month, you hear me, marine?
Highway: Yes, sir.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I don't know what strings you pulled to get back into this division but I can assure you that I don't like it. This is the new Marine Corps. The new breed. Characters like you are an anachronism. You should be sealed in a case that reads break glass only in the event of war. Got no tolerance for you old timers who think that you know it better and can have it all your own way. Understand?
Highway: I understand a lot of body bags get filled if I don't go my job, sir.
Choozoo: Major, division has assigned Gunny Highway to our reconisance platoon.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Yes, recon. Their last sergeant was an old time combat vet, too. But he went road on me. Retired on active duty. Had a few months to retirement. Figured he'd coast. Allowed the men to lapse into mediocrity. You're close to mandatory retirement yourself, aren't you, Highway?
Highway: That's right, Major.
Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Well, I ask for Marines, the division sends me relics.

Captain Kathryn Janeway: Mr. Paris, prepare the ship for landing.
Lieutenant Tom Paris: Captain, I think I should tell you I've never actually landed a starship before.

Quotes
Captain Kathryn Janeway: Am I the only one who's so intent on getting home? Is it just me? Am I leading the crew on a forlorn mission with... no real hope of success?
Commander Chakotay: You're not alone. I wanna get home too. And there's not a day that goes by when I don't hear someone mention Earth.
Captain Kathryn Janeway: The people here have built a new Earth. We could stay, help them build a human civilization in the Delta Quadrant. Isn't that an exciting prospect, shouldn't we be grateful for the opportunity they're giving us?
Commander Chakotay: It is a tempting prospect. But when I hold it up against the prospect of seeing the sun rise over the Arizona desert, or swimming in the Gulf of Mexico on a summer's day - there's just no comparison. I wanna go home.

Quotes
John Evansville: The 37's were brought here 15 generations ago by the Briori.
Commander Chakotay: Who are the Briori?
John Evansville: They're an alien race. They abducted over 300 people from Earth in the year 1937, brought them here, turned them into slaves. But those slaves revolted, killed the Briori, took their weapons and technology, and survived! Now there are over 100,000 of us. The Briori never came back.

Quotes
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: You? You'd stay here on the planet?
Ensign Harry Kim: I didn't say I was going to. I just said I could understand why people would want to. The people here remind me of home. I haven't felt like that since I left Earth.
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: But, but you're Starfleet. You've always wanted a life in space.
Ensign Harry Kim: I know, but... my whole life? On a starship, day by day, with no end in sight - that's not exactly what I had in mind.
Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres: You're not the first person I've heard talk like this. A lot of people are thinking about staying.
