Fewer Bugs, Cleaner Windshields
Paul Hetherington remembers having to stop to squeegee off the car windshield during long car rides with his parents in the United Kingdom 30 or 40 years ago. It was always coated with squashed bugs.

That’s contrary to what astronomers thought when first discovering giant exoplanets in the 1990s. For awhile, they thought hot Jupiters – giant planets close to their stars – might be the norm. Now the California Legacy Survey, which began in the 1990s, has
