Stardate 1606.5

Cataloged first system, a red giant -- all planets in system completely lifeless cinders, star extremely unstable...

This gave me a good excuse to study different star types and their life cycles.

Supplemental: Long range scans on inner planet show remains of civilization, but we can't get any closer due to the unstable star...

@emzanotti welcome back from wherever you were....

in case you forgot, EM Zanotti is in fact a real live person (who recently appeared on CNN!)
