CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers have discovered a close new world about the size of Earth, where a year lasts just under 10 days.

At a distance of 11 light-years, Ross 128 b is the second-closest planet to be detected yet outside our solar system with surface temperatures potentially similar to ours.

I was reading about this and wondered what it would be like to have all the seasons pass nearly weekly.
The life on that planet must be mind blowing. :thumbup:

Look at the bright side.  You would not have to clean the snow off it would be gone in 2 or 3 days.   :lol:

So many things to ponder about a 10 day year. I wonder about a growing season and what could grow?

Whatever does make it, would have to be damned hearty. :biggrin:
Which is why I said I'd hate to see mosquitos in a place where extremes can't hurt them.

"Hey Jim, would ya look at that, a helicopter sitting on that huge mound, looks like it's refueling.

Bob, that's no chopper, that's a Mosquito sucking what appears to be, an elephant dry.

Despite my alleged love of the Seasons, I would accept 70 degree days, with moderate rain, and moderate humidity with little complaint.
