    Can't be reached in the life span of a human.

    Teats on a boar hog to me.

    correct the other thing is it's 20.5 million light years away... so what ever we see of that planet happened 20.5 million years ago from teh time we see it... now... let us dump millions in to research of this planet to find that the sun burnt up all of it's hydrogen and started to burn helium, expanded and has consumed the planet...

    yeah i saw that late last nite or early this morning.

    pretty amazing what we can detect and learn about far away objects just by use of the tools that we have at our disposal rotating around our own planet.

    one thing that was noted about this particular celestial object in another article i read was that one needs to be careful when reading about these bodies because objects like Mars are included in the "able to support life" category simply because the temperature range is within that that liquid water can flow to some degree over the surface.

    one thing i wonder about is the rotation of the planet. being a red dwarf the star is obviously rather old...obviously not as old as a red giant...but still old. i wonder if at one time the planet did rotate upon its axis but as time wore on it simply slowed down due to, like they theorize about earth, that our core is cooling and will one day turn to a solid lump of iron that will cause the earths rotation to stop spinning on its axis as well as shut down the van allen radiation belts.

    it seems that every few months they are able to detect smaller and smaller planetary systems at galactic nearby regions. i wonder just how long it will be until they find one that is close enough that we could reach within a few generations of human life that would be habitable and close enough to the standards of earth that our current scientific methods of weight (not mass) would still apply or be relatively unchanged.

    HAHAHHAHA...yeah, that would suck.

    reminds me of that episode from south park, where they went to a planet and were like "this place is awesome, there's no god or parents or politicians!"

    yeah... once the earth stops it's rotation and the core solidifies we lose our magnetic poles... no more electricity... no more technology then...

    exactly. this is getting off topic...but have you seen any of the documentaries or information that's out there about the evidence that suggests that the earth is currently undergoing a magnetic pole reversal? they claim that within the next 100 or 200 years that the earth will have shifted its poles so that south is north and vice versa. the evidence is based on measurements taken of the strength of the magnetic field which has been steadily waning over the past few decades of measurement as well as the interruption of migratory patterns of birds and the effect of haywire gps units and compasses.

    the whole thing has happened several times in earths history and there is no way to stop it from happening so at some point in time some humans will experience it that is a given.

    they think that the radiation belts will be either completely inactive or at the very least extremely weakened for a period of a handful of years...5 or something like. can you imagine the number cancer rates rising drastically not to mention the potential for genetic mutations of all species on earth.

    damn i hope that never happens... we will be cooked alive by the intense radiation from the sun...

    Shit
    There is.



    That will stop anyone from bitching because it would vaporize them. Seriously though, that is cool that they found a planet kinda like ours.

    They could... all the gods could hangout every friday night and compare the progress of the planets they each created...

    i think what's more interesting than the planets themselves would be the type of life that could be present. would the creatures be aquatic, bipedal, symmetrical, asymmetrical, respire based on nitrogen or argon instead of oxygen...the possibilities are endless and astounding.

    and those gods would just be creations of a higher being who in turn is just a creation of man...
