“Each object in this visualization is a pulsar. Pulsars are neutron stars — the ultra-dense remnants of collapsed stars. Neutron stars typically have a mass greater than our sun, but a radius of only about 10 miles!”

This is a visualization of the 1236 exoplanet candidates observed by Kepler.
As you can see, the vast majority of these planets orbit their stars at a distance less than Earth. This is likely due to the relatively short observation period - it is highly probable that many more planets will be found as the duration of study increases.
Two candidates are highlighed: KOI 326.01 and KOI 314.02. Out of all the candidates, those two may have the best chances of satisfying some of the “habitability” criteria astronomers tend to use.

The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) uses a technique known as remote sensing to draw a precise topographical map of the moon. When it’s done, scientists will basically have a GPS system for the moon, all ready to go, next time we send people to the moon.
Detectair: an Eco-Wearable that Detects Air Quality
“A soft vest with an oversized collar, Detectair senses, alerts and protects wearers from environmental toxins in the atmosphere.
Designed by Industrial design students Genevieve Mateyko and Pamela Troyer at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, the vest contains sensors that detect the ambient air quality and displays the data on the garment itself by illuminating a pattern of embedded LEDs across the chest.
The LEDs visualize an individual’s quality of breathing based on the toxicity levels in the air. Small vibrators alert the wearer when they have entered into a dangerous and unhealthy environment.”
