A Goldilocks Planet is Discovered

Exciting news if it can be confirmed and if the planet in question is rocky.

What’s that? It’s 1600 light years away. Hmm. I suppose my frequent flier miles won’t get me there.

December writing update
ByDavis Ashura December 10, 2020July 29, 2026

It’s a slow time with the holidays and all. Plus, I’ve got the first few drafts of Memories of Prophecies hammered out, so I get to relax for a bit. Memories is the sequel to A Testament of Steel, and it’s off to the editor right now. Fingers crossed it passes muster. So a little about what I’ve been up…

Wonderings
ByDavis Ashura February 22, 2014July 29, 2026

The title of the post is lifted from my youngest son. He’ll get a thought in his little noggin and say something like, “It wonders me why the sky is blue?” Love that phrasing. I’m still stuck in the Purgatory of studying for my Boards, but there is a small ray of hope. While I…
