Well, there used to be 37, if that's what you're asking

Milky Way has a twin...that sounds nothing like a twin...
Serious question: Is it possible that life on another planet has had millions of years to evolve before we got to right here in time?
Movie idea: Scientists find a galaxy billions of years old that looks like the Milky Way. Insert story. The twist is it is the Milky Way and they're looking back through time.

A random thought I just had: The first space elevator is almost assuredly going to be called "Beanstalk".

Data from this location reveal water in concentrations of 100 to 412 parts per million – roughly equivalent to a 12-ounce bottle of water – trapped in a cubic meter of soil spread across the lunar surface. The results are published in the latest issue of Nature Astronomy.
“We had indications that H2O – the familiar water we know – might be present on the sunlit side of the Moon,” said Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Now we know it is there. This discovery challenges our understanding of the lunar surface and raises intriguing questions about resources relevant for deep space exploration.”
As a comparison, the Sahara desert has 100 times the amount of water than what SOFIA detected in the lunar soil. Despite the small amounts, the discovery raises new questions about how water is created and how it persists on the harsh, airless lunar surface.
100ppm x 100 = 10,000 / 1,000,000 = 1% for the desert, 0.01% for the moon. That's pretty dry.

Extremely dry, but not 100% dry.
Probably about as dry as a woman's vagina if you tell her you still live with your parents and are unemployed.

But less dry than if you have visible tattoos, or arrest warrants.

Trump could not have kept that secret.
Also, don't give me hope.
