Astronomers are perplexed by the surface of Osbasso. It does not appear to be pock-marked such as the craters found on the moon, though they don't believe that's always been the case. As can be seen in the photos, the shape of the planet is almost perfectly round, and is noticeably lacking in any sorts of large bumps or ridges. It is thought that the surface is constantly changing, with a fine layer of organic material covering it. As can be seen in the photos, the color seems to change, depending upon the angle. Scientists are still unsure of the light source.
It is hoped by those at NASA's P.E.D. that future photos of the far side of the planet will become available. They are excited at the possibility that more exotic features exist that are not seen on the near side. While they hope that they might find a face on the surface, similar to the "face" that is seen on Mars, they admit that the far side might just turn out to be more of the same. Secretly, however, many of them hoped to find tiny alien crop circles.
When asked for comment, a SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) spokesman responded that even though the discovery of Osbasso was significant, it was not believed that any intelligent life would be found.
You know what usually would show up here...

Due to an "oops" moment, the kids over at "Blissfully Wed" had to go private last week. They sent out invitations to as many as they could think of, but if you were missed (it wasn't personal, really!) you can email them and ask for one at: hntbliss@gmail.com
As mentioned last week, Saucy Wildcat was going to be having surgery for her thyroid cancer. Well, she had surgery on Monday, and is now recovering. You can read the latest update on her site. Stop by and send her some good wishes!
