The planet: TOI-1231 b
The discovery: A planet some 90 light-years away from Earth is oddly reminiscent of our own Neptune – that is, a gaseous world with a potentially rich atmosphere, ripe for study. The planet is more than 3 ½ times as big around as Earth and warm by Earthly standards at 134 degrees Fahrenheit (57 Celsius). But astronomers say it is one of the “coolest,” comparatively small planets known to date, and in a prime position for the components of its atmosphere to be teased apart by space telescopes.

SANTA FE - Appointments to New Mexico s citizen redistricting committee were supposed to give due regard to geographic and cultural diversity under legislation passed this year.
But six of the seven appointees to the panel live in Albuquerque, and the other is from Belen.
All but one are men.
New Mexico s redistricting group will also feature a heavy concentration of people with a background in politics, including two former Democratic state senators and a former chairman of the state Republican Party.
The committee took shape over the last few days through a series of appointments by the State Ethics Commission and legislative leaders.
New Mexico Sends Three to Outdoor NCAA Championships
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Charlotte Prouse, Amelia Mazza-Downie, and Jamari Drake will represent the University of New Mexico track and field team at the NCAA DI Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. Although the Championships will span from Wednesday to Saturday, the Lobos will only participate on Thursday and Saturday.
Prouse will be the first Lobo to compete, as she will run in the semifinal round of the women’s 3000 steeplechase Thursday at 5:02 p.m. MT. Prouse posted a season-best time of 9:44.99 at the NCAA West Regionals, earning her a second-place finish overall and a spot at Nationals. This is the third outdoor Championship in a row that Prouse has qualified for. In 2018 and 2019, Prouse finished in second place. The top 12 to finish in Thursday’s race will qualify for final round on Saturday at 4:24 p.m. MT.
