Description: Astronomers have discovered the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, an exoplanet with a radius only 50% larger than the Earth and capable of having liquid water. Using the ESO 3.6-m telescope, a team of Swiss, French and Portuguese scientists discovered a super-Earth about 5 times the mass of the Earth that orbits a red dwarf, already known to harbour a Neptune-mass planet. The astronomers have also strong evidence for the presence of a third planet with a mass about 8 Earth masses. Copyright ESO www.eso.org

simon82666 ::: Favorites Now lets find how to travel at the speed of light* . It would take about 40 on light speed to go there and comeback on earth. But if Enstein's relativity theory is revealed to be true; we also have another problem ;-) 07-08-31 00:35:02 __________________________________________________

battleformiddleEA ::: Favorites whats the point of moveing to another planet if u where born here. just imagine how gas we will use if we used it on a space ship or a satilite kind a thing there. 07-08-15 02:31:50 __________________________________________________
Panzerjock ::: Favorites What are you talking about? It is only 20 lightyears away. The imiage we are seeing is 20 years old. 07-08-14 10:57:00 __________________________________________________
Lokivoid ::: Favorites Wouldnt be possable to make "contact" anyways considering the Distance infact the light we have recived from the system could be over thousands of years old. basicly looking back in time, For all we know that system could of been consumed by a blackhole around 2000 years ago, or the star could of died die out 07-08-12 06:29:19 __________________________________________________
