Its the most “Earth like” planet ever discovered…
The search for alien life just got more interesting with this exoplanet. S.E.T.I. for example started in the 1970s as a search method of sending and listening for alien signals in outerspace. There is actually a billionaire who has put up a lot of cash to retsart the S.E.T.I. program.
What may be as if not more exciting if the exoplanet named kepler 452-B. it has an atmosphere very similar to ours and potentially a similar surface as well. In addition it is relatively close and that is an emphasis on relatively, so astronomers will be focusing more attention on it.
Let’s check out a video with graphics showing this fascinating planet on page 2

The water looks refreshing
Good question, why attempt to land on it if it’s hostile to any carbon lifeforms!
Artist concept. We will have to master light speed first in order to effectively get there.
Lets continue this conversation next century….
Not we, nor any man made probe, will ever enter that solar system. Not even with the fastest new EM drive.
You understand that’s an artists rendering and not a photograph? Lol

Guy complains it’s 1400 not 100lightyears away. Points out that the universe is 93.000,000,000 light years in diameter. So that’s 0.00000014% of the potential distance it could be. That’s pretty fucking close.
So is the moon and mars.
Yeah, I know, but we know more about the Moon and Mars, it’s the uncertainty factor!
It’s only took 40 years from Einstein’s discovery of relativity to the creation of a working nuclear power plant. You’re insinuating that someone somewhere will answers some of our engineering problems preventing us from building working models of warp drives (NASA actually made one that warps electrons) and wormhole makers. Yet we already established that it works in nature and can actually be made. And with Moore’s law in regards to technology doubling every 18 months, I’d say we could be less than 100 years away from touching down on that thing 1400 light years away.
100 years ago the average person had never seen a working light bulb in action. we’ve already populated another planet with robots and sent probes beyond our solar system. I think you’re completely disregarding what we’re capable of. But not with that attitude 🙂
