Hawaii conservation groups are voicing their opposition to plans by the U.S. Space Force to conduct cargo rocket testing at Johnston Atoll, a national wildlife refuge in the Pacific.

The atoll, known as Kalama to Hawaiians, was used in earlier decades as a nuclear testing site but is now a refuge to seabirds, including one of the largest known nesting populations of Red-tailed tropicbirds, more than 300 species of fish and a shallow coral reef.

Earlier studies of the system had suggested that there was also an exoplanet present in the system. But the properties of its orbit made little sense, in that nobody could seem to figure out a stable orbit that would be consistent with the observations. The only thing that was clear was that the most stable orbits appeared to require that the planet have a retrograde motion, meaning orbiting in the opposite direction to the companion star. Ξ½ Octantis definitely fell into the vast category of β€œmore data is needed” questions.

Weirder than we can imagine indeed.
