Interesting, I guess - though we'll probably not be able to find out any more about that particular planet for decades, at least.

[MyLife_MyReign 256]

Seems real good.They need to check the planet out but it will take decades as Gold says.But a real good discovery.

[echo_bravo_alpha_111 12]

yeah,but that planet we wont sure theres atmosphere and pure oxygen like earth or even ETC living things that we wont see before like species

Really? spacecraft dawn is the fastest probe and it passed Jupiter after a year also it will go somewhere to find out how the solar system was made in February 2015 Edited May 3, 2014 by LividTanki

cool a new planet has been discoverd. But as they say that it isn too hot or cold for life so that means that maybe the planet where there are aliens.

[Eragon 13,876]

Alien! We are being invaded by aliens!!! Panic!! End of tanki online! End of the world!  :lol:  :lol:  :ph34r:

[phill4177 115]

serious?

Lol yeah! The Kepler telescope has found hundreds of potentially habitable planets! e.g Gliese 581g

Earth like planets are being found nearly everyday! Methods like radial velocity are used, the Kepler telescope has contributed a heck of a lot to finding exo-planets.

Yep, your right! the planet has to be in the "Goldilocks" zone however this zone depends on the size of the star (e.g red dwarf).The planet cant be too big either, an ideal planet will be a small planet (most small planet are rocky like earth, so they have land)! if its too big it'll be an ocean world with no land and also finding a planet in the Goldilocks zone doesn't mean it has to have life. There are an estimated 17 billion earth like planets in the milky way galaxy alone! that means that 1 in 6 star systems have an earth like planet orbiting it ! :D

Colonizing someone else's planet might be hazardous to your health.

We can know a lot about a planet just by looking at its transits around its host star (a lot of pictures have been taken by Kepler, the data is then checked and the transits are recorded that's how most potentially habitable exo-planets have been found!) we can find out its size, were it roughly is in that star system and even a rough idea of what its surface maybe like! but yeah travelling to the planet and seeing actually how its like and works is a tough job and it'll take a take a LONG LONG time, even if we are travelling at the speed of light.

its a class m1 planet that appears to have water on it yes this was reported about 3 months ago ..but its something like 500 light years away if memory serves so not even any chance of a  survey

[shadewarttt 3,350]

Earth is my favourite planet ok. Obviously.

[monkeyburn 13,524]

500 light years! Just the amount of money it would take to get there, let alone the other costs; could be better spent on reforesting, and other agricultural/social projects on Earth... :blink:

This is very common, it's not news.

After a few years we'll have technology that'll be able to "outdistance" Voyager2 just 10 years after it's launch.
