a teenager has discovered a new planet known as TOI 1338b, it is nearly seven times larger than Earth and has two stars – one that's about 10 percent more massive than our sun, and another only a third of the sun's mass and less bright, according to Nasa.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 15%. (I'm a bot)


> Most people sit through countless orientations on the first few days of their job, but one US teen discovered a planet - on his third day.

> Wolf Cukier, 17, of Scarsdale, New York, had wrapped up his penultimate year of high school when he headed off to intern in the summer at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he discovered a planet orbiting two stars.

> The planet, now known as TOI 1338b, is nearly seven times larger than Earth and has two stars - one that's about 10 percent more massive than our sun, and another only a third of the sun's mass and less bright, according to Nasa.

> It was the second time he had interned at the space research laboratory, having spent the summer of 2018 working on a Goldilocks Zone project under the mentorship of Nasa aerospace technology researcher Ravi Kopparapu.

> Wolf was invited back to intern at the space flight complex, but Mr. Kopparapu wasn't available to provide guidance.

> Wolf was placed under the tutelage of Nasa research scientist Veselin Kostov who never had a high school intern, Mr. Kostov told The Washington Post.

[Immortal Planet] #57 If you are a fan of Indie games and Souls games give this one a try. First person to plat this game plat percent still says 0.

https://preview.redd.it/hrxcx7nbva441.png?width=1455&format=png&auto=webp&s=361287e29c053aaa1ec3cbb80cc36b6040ecc598

To anyone who is a fan of Souls games this game takes a lot of inspiration from the souls games, Bonfires, Stamina, the leveling system, magic. The combat was also very well done and satisfying like the souls games. I don't think this game did very well but it definitely deserves more recognition, give it a try! My only complaint is that the trophy list was only 11 golds, there is so many things they could have added trophies for but oh well.

Platinum took me about 15 hours more or less and I give it a 6/10 difficulty but once you get the combat system down it becomes much easier.
