LARAMIE, Wyoming, July 15 (TNSOps) -- The University of Wyoming issued the following news release:
Twenty-five high school students from across Wyoming and one from Colorado worked in teams to determine whether planets near different-colored stars could actually be habitable. To help make that determination, the students participated in an experiment using radiometers, which measure light, to record the outer and inner limits of habitability around different types of stars.
