New Exoplanet Finds Hint at More Worlds Beyond Earth
Astronomers report a crop of new planets, mostly gas giants like Jupiter, with Earthlike rocky worlds likely unseen. Tolbert notes discovery methods bias toward certain types, while Grube of James Madison University says these findings sharpen search for intelligent life and help target radio telescope observations. Swiss teams announce six new planets, UC Berkeley three, and UT Austin a planet 10.5 light years away. The sun is eight minutes away, about 93 million miles, and light travels 186000 miles per second.

Cattle rustling ring targets North Dakota grasslands
In western North Dakota cattle thefts reach up to 100000 in losses from the National Grasslands as rustlers use spotters, ra dios, motorcycles and dogs to surround cows. Investigators say corrals, semis and darkness enable out-of-state moves, with owners like Sonny Egly and Gene Fedorenko facing heavy, uninsured losses. Authorities note the crime is hard to track and rarely solved.
