I find it curious that these scientist can be soo certain of another “Solar System”, only 10 lights away and the existence of a 9th planet in our own solar system remains a mystery.

Beware of eagerness to find a body double. It makes for good press, but isn’t good science.

Planet “Plimsoul”

Our fastest traveling probe to-date is New Horizons, clocking 36,000 Mph.

If New Horizons were pointed at the Epsilon Eridani system, it would do a fly-by approximately 190,000 years from now.

That’s how far away 10 light years is.

I thought Alpha Centauri was the closest system, at about 40 light years. Lost in Space said so.

Awesome.

Very helpful information. /s

With the astrophysicist community talking about solar systems like ours with earth like planets, there is one question: How do we investigate such systems that are light years away? By the time we get any explorer craft back from a round-trip exploration mission, there might not be humans available to analyze the data.

[Does so]

We are alone...

Why did you put [sic] after only? Makes no sense.

It is just visible matter and invisible matter. Dark matter is a racist description in today’s universities.
