ROM-DOS Posted May 18, 2006 CID Share Posted May 18, 2006 Planets Found in Potentially Habitable Setup By Ker Than ~ SPACE.com "Three medium-sized planets of roughly the same mass as Neptune have been discovered around a nearby Sun-like star, scientists announced today." "The planets were discovered around HD 69830, a star slightly less massive than the Sun located 41 light-years away in the constellation Puppis (the Stern), using the ultra-precise HARPS spectrograph on the European Southern Observatory's 3.6-meter La Silla telescope in Chile." "The setup is similar to our own solar system in many ways: The outermost planets is located just within the star's habitable zone, where temperatures are moderate enough for liquid water to form, and the system also contains an asteroid belt." "The newly discovered planets have masses of about 10, 12 and 18 times that of Earth and they zip around the star in rapid orbits of about 9, 32 and 197 days, respectively." "Based on their distances from the star, two inner worlds nearest the star are rocky planets similar to Mercury, the scientists suspect. The outermost planet is thought to have a solid core of rock and ice and shrouded by a thick gas envelope." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Naru Posted May 18, 2006 CID Share Posted May 18, 2006 So these planets are 41 ly away..thats far base on our planet but isn't really far in space. NASA has found planets that are over 200 ly away. The Milky Way spands out 100 ly. 1 ly = 93 Trillion miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted May 18, 2006 CID Share Posted May 18, 2006 my theory is we are not alone. there is probably something like the federation from star trek out there with something like their prime directive. we are being watched but no contact will be made until we develop truly advanced space travel. the alien sightings are aliens that don't give a shit about the law and the crop circles are the equivalent of teenage graffiti tags. other options are: we are truly alone in the universe (unlikely) the other option is that there is a spacefaring civilization or more of them out there that is of a similar mindset as earthlings, in which case we are fucked if the decide to come by in force. a technologically advanced civilization whith the same values as humans would mean utter destruction for humanity. look what happened when the technologically advanced europeans landed in the americas and africa for example.
