  • In this Tuesday, April 16, 2013 photo, a monk walks on the grounds of the ancient monastery of St. Anthony, southeast of Cairo, Egypt. In a cave high in the desert mountains of eastern Egypt, the man said to be the father of monasticism took refuge from the temptations of the world some 17 centuries ago. The monks at the St. Anthony’s Monastery bearing his name continue the ascetic tradition. But even they are not untouched by the turbulent times facing Egypt’s Christians, defiantly vowing their community’s voice won’t be silenced amid Islamists’ rising power.

This handout image from Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows an artist concept of what these two planets, called Kepler-62-e and Kepler-62-f look like. The larger planet in the left corner is somewhat covered by ice and is f, which is farther from the star. The planet below it is e, which is slightly warmer and has clouds and may be a water world.
