NGTS-EB-8: A double-lined eclipsing M+M binary discovered by citizen scientists
We report the identification and characterization of a new binary system composed of two near-equal mass M-dwarfs. The binary NGTS-EB-8 was identified as a planet candidate in data from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) by citizen scientists participating in the Planet Hunters NGTS project. High-resolution spectroscopic observations reveal the system to be a double-lined binary. By modeling the photometric and radial velocity observations, we determine an orbital period of 4.2 days and …

Content warning: #uspol, ICE

I know several people in Chicago and the stories they are telling about interacting with ICE are just horrifying. School parties cancelled, people they know being kidnapped, constant vigilance to react to ICE attacking their neighbors.
