Discoveries are being made every week in astrobiology, and for this assignment I want you to read about several of them and report on what you think is the most interesting/exciting. Use these sources to find the most important recent discoveries:

Read several recent articles (must be published after 2023 Dec 1). Then choose your favorite, and then answer these THREE parts:
In one paragraph summarize the article and state the key results. Explain why the article is important – why is this newsworthy? Try to answer the usual “Who, What, When, Where, Why?” set of questions.
Then in a second paragraph, state what made the article interesting to you. This is where you can share your own thoughts/opinions. Four to six sentences is fine for this part.
Finally, copy a sentence or phrase verbatim (word-for-word) from the article and explain how this ties into what we are learning in this course. The more direct and specific the connection, the better the grade. In addition to the cut-and-paste sentence from the article, try to have about three-five sentences of your own, explaining the relationship this sentence has with the course material (lectures, notes, textbook, lecture preambles/introductions, announcements, etc.).
Be sure to give the title and date of the article at the start of your answer. As usual, proper college-level English is required, and the work must be typed into document format – do not take a photo and convert the image into .pdf format. The assignment length should be one page. (I don’t care about font size, spacing, etc – you know what looks good and what does not. Please try to keep this to 1 side of a piece of paper.) Be sure to keep the summary of what the author wrote (first paragraph) separate from your opinions & thoughts (second paragraph). Since you are listing the title and date at the top of your homework, there is no need to have a separate reference or citations section. However, please also include the URL (web address), and the author of the article (if given) at the top of your homework
