OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb

Ah, there\'s no place like home....  


Astronomers announced today the discovery of what is possibly the smallest planet known outside our solar system orbiting a normal star.
 
Its orbit is farther from its host star than Earth is from the Sun. Most known extrasolar planets reside inside the equivalent of Mercury\'s orbit.


The planet is estimated to be about 5.5 times as massive as Earth and thought to be rocky. It orbits a red dwarf star about 28,000 light-years away. Red dwarfs are about one-fifth as massive as the Sun and up to 50 times fainter. But they are among the most common stars in the universe.


So the finding suggests rocky worlds may be common.


"The team has discovered the most Earth-like planet yet," said Michael Turner, assistant director for the mathematical and physical sciences directorate at the     National Science Foundation, which supported the work.

cant bring god into this,lol. Can show them all the scientific proof of the universe being humongoid, the high possibility that SOMEWHERE has to hold life, evolution, etc theyll only respond that god made everything in some huge plan well never understand and god made evolution yadda yadda yadda.

God would be nice to look foreward to..but..

anyway..this stuff is really interesting to me. once we reach the speed of light, well figure out so much itll be scary. Right now all we can do is measure stuff through light since well never see it. I still dont really get how they figure out all that shit with light.

ah thats right..because we all know how man-made calendars makes the earth orbit..

I think someone told the mayan chief that it would end in 2012 and he said "eh..well be dead by then..let them worry about it"...pretty much what were doing now with the sun inevitably going out..let them worry about it,lol..only difference is that one ends in probable death and one doesnt.

But by the time our sun burns out, people will be living on colonies of other planets in other solar systems or living in settlements like in the book Nemesis (and if none of you read it....Google it because I\'m not explaining it :) ). However, by then, man probably will be extinct anyway.

That planet was made by God\'s brother Dan.  He\'s a fuck up who never gets anything right.  The surface temperature on Dan\'s world is -364 F, and he has a bunch of nitrogen snow flakes praying to him.

A star named Nemesis that is moving toward the earth. Its a good book by Isaac Asimov. I\'d pick it up or sparknote it or something.
