Blame Einstein for the rarity of Tattooine planets: news.berkeley.edu/2026/01/30/why…
news.berkeley.edu Why are Tatooine planets rare?

Physicists can now explain the dearth. ESCAPADE is on its way!
Status set to: Interplanetary Cruise 😎
Our twin spacecraft for @NASA and @ucbssl's ESCAPADE mission have completed their engine burns and are now cruising near Earth–Sun L2 Lagrange point. Blue and Gold will hang tight here until November when they’ll begin their cruise to Mars orbit to begin their science mission studying the Martian magnetosphere.
