another earth found
nasa says they have found another earth like planet that is some 600 hundred light years away. they found it beacause earth size planets whose orbital planes are aligned such that they periodically pass in front of their stars result in tiny dimmings of their host star’s light dimmings. so they watch suns until the light dimms and then they know that that star has a planet that orbits it. this undated handout artist rendering provided by nasa shows kepler 22 b a planet known to comfortably circle in the habitable zone of a sun star nasa has found the new planet outside our solar system that's eerily similar to earth in alot of ways. it has a star could almost be a twin of our sun. It likely has water and land. i think it is kind of cool and at the same time scary that we are looking at a 600 year old picture of that planet. the planet may have people or intelligent life on it by now and we would know if it has it now until 600 years from now and then it would be even more civilized than it was 600 years ago when we first found it. maby there are other life forms on this planet that already knew that we were there. maby they could teach us alot about ourselves. maby they have created some kind of technology that does travel faster than light. they might have already figured out some new aspects to our science that would shatter all of the things we thought we knew. this discovery supports the growing belief that we live in a universe crowded with life. carnegies alan boss says. also nasa says that this planet is 2.4 times larger than our own. so if there is intelligent life forms on that planet they are bigger than us.
