The move follows outcry from meteorologists and public officials blindsided by the planned cancellation at the start of hurricane season.

This Star System Contains 5 Potentially Habitable Planets

A team of astronomers from the University of Montreal has discovered a new potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star L 98-59, 35 light-years from Earth. This discovery means there are now five confirmed planets in this solar system’s “temperate” or “habitable” zone, the region in a solar system where liquid water could exist on planets’ surfaces.
