WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD....

Starry, starry night
....or whatever else we can find. This was a new version of Friday Night Lights. A Delta II carried a new telescope into orbit that was designed to search out other as yet unidentified planets. They hope to discover earth-like planets in other solar systems by measuring light flicker caused by planets passing in front of other stars. Some scientists say that it is kind of like looking for a flea on a car headlight. Rather them than me. I have too many other itches to scratch.
