The annual summer fighting season is now well underway in Afghanistan, with nearly daily suicide bombings, assassinations, and other high-profile attacks by the Taliban and other militant groups.

Two planets discovered orbiting stars in a crowded cluster
In May, NASA scientists announced that the space-based Kepler telescope that has been scouring the sky for habitable worlds was in trouble. Part of the mechanism used to position the telescope had failed. Scientists were quick to praise the mission and note that even if it were over, they had more than enough data to analyze. The latest discovery from the data beamed back by Kepler came Wednesday, with the detection of two planets smaller than Neptune orbiting stars in a cluster about 3,000 light-years away.
