		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve written about this in in previous blog posts, but there have been hundreds of new planets discovered beyond our own solar system.    Recently, astronomers in Europe have discovered 32 new planets orbiting distant stars. 
This brings the thought to my mind that there is life out there&#8230;somewhere.   However, none of these 32 planets would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember when I was 14 years old, in the backyard, looking for Halley&#8217;s comet in the cold of winter.  I figured that I might not be around for the comet&#8217;s next trip through our solar system (2061), so I got myself outside to have a look.   I&#8217;m glad I did.   But&#8230;. we&#8217;ll (sort of) be able to [...]]]></description>

Previous missions have detected water on the moon&#8230;and there are some indications that there could be a significant amount of water on the moon.

It wasn&#8217;t a UFO.  It was NASA.  There is a launch site on Wallops Island, Virginia.   They launched a rocket [...]]]></description>

The climate debate goes on&#8230;and it&#8217;s reached a peak during the past few weeks with two huge pieces of news from the Obama Administration and the U.S. House of Representatives.

I know the chances of this happening are like one in a gazillion, but it&#8217;s a fear of mine&#8230;.being hit by a meteor.  My very first post in my Weather and Science Blog talked about an asteroid coming pretty close to Earth back in the winter.

Courtesy The City of Worcester.   The Worcester Tornado of June 9, 1953
The stories are amazing.  The destruction was incomprehensible.  The lives lost&#8230;.94.  It was an historic storm for two reasons:

The size of the storm and the death and destruction it caused.
It helped shape the future of severe weather prediction in [...]]]></description>

Well, Maine had three tornadoes in one week!!!  It&#8217;s a much bigger state obviously, but still&#8230;New England is not tornado country!  There have been some memorable tornadoes in New England, however.  The two biggest were probably the Worcester Tornado [...]]]></description>
