Interesting Science News Articles

This morning, I searched the web and found several interesting articles on planetary science:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15863549 - From the BBC News website, this article entitled Most liveable alien world ranked. This article ranks alien worlds discovered by probes that humans could inhabit one day. This article does not rank any of the planets found by the Kepler probe, as those Kepler planets were discovered after the article was written.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17225127 - Another article from the BBC website; this article is entitled Oxygen envelops Saturn's icy moon. This article explains how a thin layer of oxygen envelopes the atmosphere of the moon Dione. Although we cannot live there, this does suggest that Saturn's other moons could support life.
