For the first time in history a gas giant outside our solar system has been found. Scientists looked at the star Pegasi-51 using giant telescopes on the ground and discovered the star wobbled, meaning it has planets. The question whether we're alone in the universe has brought us one step closer. This planet is larger than jupiter has been found orbiting the star Pegasi-51, a star that is 15 lightyears away from our sun. Scientists were stunned to discover that gas giants could orbit stars at such a close range (closer than mercury). They always thought that if they would find a gas giant it would be just as far away as ours

What day was my birthday Sep 15, 1995?

September 15, 1995 was a Friday and it was the 258^th day of the year 1995. It was the 37^th Friday of that year. The next time you can reuse your old 1995 calendar will be in 2023. Both calendars will be exactly the same! This is assuming you are not interested in the dates for Easter and other irregular holidays that are based on a lunisolar calendar.

What were you in your past life?

I do not know how you feel about this, but you were a male ♂ in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of Poland approximately on 1600. Your profession was builder of roads, bridges, docks.
