LemoN Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I guess we just entered a new age. With the Kepler telescope having found literally thousands of exoplanets and something like 50+ earth-like candidates in the past two years... we have now confirmed the first earth-like planet in the inhabitable zone around a star. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16040655 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalins Organ Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Mother nature doesn't bet. And also doesn't actually know or care that humanity exists. Just so's you know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Pretty cool. Let's send a radio signal to Kepler 22b! Then we only have to wait 1200 years for the response 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affentitten Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I'm more concerned about the Reptiloids on Kettler 9-11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie_Oz Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Well the Vogons are going to kill us all for a Hyperspace bypass anyway so the Kettles won't be a problem. And if the Keplertwentytoobians have unfriended us, then screw them, who needs them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
