Now THIS is cool! Earth II

[JohnR]

It's got the same climate as Earth, plus water and gravity. A newly discovered planet is the most stunning evidence that life - just like us - might be out there.

fascinating. wonder how they found it. usually earth like sized planets have very little influence on the wobble of the sun they orbit, which makes it tricky to find them

I'm guessing because the star is so much dimmer and smaller than the sun we were able to detect the wobble, or change in the star's brightness easier than we would have been able to if we were looking at, Sirius or Vega.

Thats pretty neat. Whats the old saying? "If theres no life out there, its an awefull waist of space."

Yeah it is neat to think that somewhere out in the vast space there could be other life.

Hum, I think that would be a waste of space... however I do know some people with a waist of space.






At least I amuse myself.....
