New planet discovered by NASA where water can exist | todaysthv.com

"Today I have the privilege of announcing the discovery of Kepler's first planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, Kepler-22b," Bill Borucki, the Kepler principal investigator at NASA's Ames Research Center, told reporters. "It's 2.4 times the size of the Earth, it's in an orbital period (or year) of 290 days, a little bit shorter than the Earth's, it's a little bit closer to its star than Earth is to the sun, 15 percent closer.
"But the star is a little bit dimmer, it's a little bit lower in temperature, a little bit smaller. That means that planet, Kepler-22b, has a rather similar temperature to that of the Earth. ... If the greenhouse warming were similar on this planet, its surface temperature would be something like 72 Fahrenheit, a very pleasant temperature here on Earth."

The first they're telling us about, anyway. I'm sure there are many out there, and I'm sure some have life on them. If you subscribe to what Zecharia Sitchin says, there is another planet in our solar system on an elleptical orbit of 3600 yrs, next pass will be in 2021. This planet is called Nibiru, and the Sumerians say this is how life started here on earth.

Now all I need is faster than light travel and we might be able to get there someday...only to discover it is inhabited by Darth Vader who then proceeds to force choke us...but then we realize we have developed superpowers from prolonged exposure to Gamma radiation while passing through the pillars of Mars nebula...We turn green we rip out of our clothes and HULK SMASSHHH!! all the Darth Vader's into the dirt and take over the planet. I am pronounced King of the new race of Hulks and proceed to select my harem from Darth Vader's slave women.

And they all lived happily ever after.

The end.

Thanks for the setup Littlewing.
