K2-18b, detected in 2015, orbits a star 124 light years away. Though it is over 800% as large as Earth, its space in the habitable zone of its star, like where we are, means the possibiliy that liquid water could exist on its surface. The science community calls it The Goldilocks Zone.

In a bizarre experiment, scholars declared that survivors of one of California's annual wildfires instead suffered PTSD due to climate change. It was a small group, 27 who had been near a fire in 2018, 21 who had seen smoke, and 27 in the control group.
