Wildlife, Exoplanets, Undermining Online Hate

(Did I remove "Beta Pictoris" from my list of tags? No, I didn't!)

Current "confirmed" count as of 20 August 2019 at exoplanet.eu, FYI: 4107. Ninety more worlds confirmed in the space of about three months.

And a physicist may have useful data on how to mess with hatemongers online:
