NASA is expected to make an announcement Thursday on the progress of its Kepler spacecraft, which has been staring at one patch of space for evidence of other worlds.
The space agency has scheduled an afternoon teleconference with reporters to announce the results from Kepler, which include the "discovery of an intriguing planetary system," NASA officials said Monday.

"Dear Lord, all I ask for is a nice home in Alpha Centauri"Alpha Centauri might not be the best place to choose for a home. It's a binary star system. You'd probably have 24 hours of daylight, depending on your proximity to the stars. On the other hand, you might have a day cycle similar to Tatooine with two 'suns' in the sky. That would be the most awesome thing!

Let me guess.
There is nothing out there and we must take care of planet Earth. We have to pass the legislation he proposes. Global Warming must be eliminated.

Seems to be two competing theories on that. Some are saying that Alpha Centauri may be ideal for an earth mass rocky planet.

Gamma Cephei is a binary system with known planets.

Surely after all this time Caprica should be inhabitable by now.

True, it would be nice to live on a planet with the buildings still there.... I’m sure the radiation is pretty much gone away..
