Newly Discovered Earth-Sized Exoplanet May Be Best Candidate Yet For Alien Life
Astronomers just announced the discovery of yet another exoplanet, just one of thousands now, but this one is quite interesting and exciting for a variety of reasons. The planet, called Ross 128 b, is an Earth-sized world orbiting a star only 11 light-years away. Not only is it nearly the same size as Earth, the observations show that it is likely quite temperate, with temperatures similar to those on our planet as well. These findings make it possibly the best exoplanet candidate yet in the search for extraterrestrial life.

Will an Invincible Frieza Become the New Villain of ‘Dragon Ball Super’?
We saw it happen before: a cruel, bloodthirsty tyrant with a twisted understanding of right and wrong gets ahold of the Super Dragon Balls and wishes himself immortal. The other version of him switches bodies with Son Goku and eliminates the real Kakarot, along with several of his loved ones.

Universe 7 Plans to Resurrect at Least One Fallen Universe With the Super Dragon Balls
Several hundred episodes ago, Goku proposed the idea of a universe-wide tournament to the King of All, and he agreed — with a price. In exchange for the opportunity to battle more powerful fighters, all participating universes would have to risk total annihilation: the losers will be erased from existence, while the winner will be saved and granted one wish. Since then, Gohan's reverted to his Ultimate form, Android 17 was revealed to be alive and good, and Goku unexpectedly recruited Frieza. The show finally introduced female Saiyans (and later Super Saiyans!) as well, in the form of Caulifla and Kale from Universe 6. The meeker Kale is Broly’s equivalent from Champa’s universe.

These are not the films you are looking for... The force is definitely strong in the franchise - last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens rebooted a cinematic legacy with a particularly rocky past. Somewhere between the Star Wars Holiday Special and Attack of the Clones it looked as if the Skywalker space opera had lost its way. Thankfully under J.J. Abrams tutelage, Star Wars was steered in the right direction and we can expect it for many years to come. The updated cinematic slate for the franchise reveals that we will see another five films between now and 2020, so hold on to your butts...here we go!

Is Harrison Ford Really Done With Star Wars: Episode VIII?
Never say never! It wasn't exactly a big secret that Harrison Ford wanted his wisecracking smuggler, Han Solo, to be killed off by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi. It was a 32 year wait, but Ford finally got his wish when Han Solo bit the dust at the hands of his own son in last year's Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
