Pair of 'super-Earths' discovered in Virgo
Another couple of planets found outside our solar system? So what? Exoplanet discoveries are becoming routine. But what's interesting about a recent find is that these exoplanets are circling a star you can actually see in the night sky, "61 Virginis" (which is in the Virgo constellation). (BBC) 61 Virginis is only 28 light years away.

About Me
- pound360
- I started pound360 to channel my obsession with vitamins, running and the five senses. Eventually, I got bored focusing on all that stuff, so I came back from a one month hiatus in May of 2007 (one year after launching Pound360) and broadened my mumblings here to include all science.
