Watch it. Then watch it again. Then have a lie down.

NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft, has already discovered more than 100 planets outside our solar system in the first four years of its mission, including, last year, a possible ‘ocean world’ called Kepler-22b.
Lately, its deep space telescope has identified three exoplanets of similar size to Earth which appear to have the right temperatures to sustain life. Two of them (Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f) orbit the Kepler-62 star 1200 light years from Earth with estimated surface temperatures of -3°C and -65°C respectively (though the chilliness may be tempered by the blanketing effect of as-yet-unknown atmospheres.)
The third planet, Kepler-69c, orbiting a different star, has a balmy estimated surface temperature of 27°C. Scientists also speculate that it could be covered with liquid, but not necessarily water.
We want to believe.

Slovenian photographer Matej Pelijhan’s recent collaboration with 12 year-old Luka, whose mobility is limited by muscular dystrophy to operating the joystick of his electric wheelchair.
Pelijhan’s photo series, shot from above (and in the style of Adele Enerson’s baby dioramas from 2010) without digital manipulation, depicts the young chap engaged in all manner of physical feats.
