BURNING LOVE • India’s Diwali festival marks the victory of light and goodness over darkness and evil, respectively. It is an annual celebration that inspires hope and, apparently, candles.

HAPPY RENEW YEAR • 7 fresh finds

NUMBERS • BILLIONS OF STARS. ZILLIONS OF PLANETS. BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT WOULD EXTRATERRESTRIALS REALLY LOOK LIKE? TURNS OUT THERE ARE SOME NUMBERS FOR THAT TOO. AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY LOOK A LOT LIKE US
