Scientists discover Earth-like planet

[Equity]

You mean firefox doesn't spell for you?

no, do i need an add-on???

I think finding life out there will be very exciting, i hope im around for it...(and i know it'll probably just be bacteria or some small one-celled organism..but still)

[Luse]

I'm not going unless it looks like this

[EskemoJoe]

Im not going because that would mean venturing outside... I went there once and it was scary. Will not repeat.

Is that nz code for ring sting? :eek:

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

So back on topic, I rekon they going to find many more planets over the next few years.

^ This from the "No shit, Sherlock" school of prediction. :sunnies:

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I was taught by the best.


But I meant small Earth like planets, due to new observatories like Kepler being launched.

[Luse]

Yeah but still, that's kinda like putting the plug into the bath, turning on the taps and saying "I reckon its going to get filled with water"

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Unless the bath has a 'Black Hole' in it.

just cause you turn a faucet does not mean water will come....

correlation...causation

[Ngati_Grim]

Unless it's Farrah Faucet and then more than water will come.

Did I force it?

New planets are awesome, if it were possible and up to me i'd watch a 24/7 universe channel on tv. I dunno how you can't be amazed by it.

[swindle]

i am amazed by it

i wish we spent as much on planet research/discovery as we did weapons

but how many "potential" life supporting planets have we found now? a few, and what are we doing about it?

going to war with each other over oil and god

gg humanity

[DDM]

There isn't much we can do about it at the moment. The technology we need to reach these planets in our lifetime doesnt exist

wait till you see the war we'll have WITH the life we find.

but no seriously, unless they can "interpret" a passage in the bible to mention aliens pretty soon, religion is screwed when we find aliens.

[swindle]

and epic lols at thousands will ensue

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

It doesn't say anywhere in the bible that aliens don't exist, and not all religions have the bible.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

NASA Estimates that there are possibly 2 billion Earthlike planets in our galaxy, Based on the findings so far by the Kepler space telescope.

By Earthlike, they mean planets which are about the same size as Earth, and in the habitable zone around a star where liquid water can exist.
