Initially I thought today was going to be a bit light on good news.
It’s hard but it happens.
Good news is out there but sometimes you have to look for it.
I was about to give up but then New Scientist came to the rescue.
I mean, the earth raising plasma shields to defend against cosmic storms, how cool?
So Science wins again this week.
