And now for some good news: An amateur astronomer caught GJ 436 b, a “Hot Neptune,” in transit across its star, an M-class red dwarf some 33 light years from Earth. This was not seen by a big telescope, but by a small telescope that can be used in a backyard.
The next few decades will be exciting for astronomy.
