Every time I hear one of these scumbag libtards spout off on TV, I start to wish OUR sun would turn into a red dwarf and put us all out of our misery.

So a planet relying on unstable red dwarfs is like a conservative relying on Republicans, huh?

The “habitable zone” for a planet orbiting a red dwarf may be closer than Mercury is to our sun. And like Mercury the planet’s rotation around its axis would likely be phase-locked to its orbit, leaving one side in continual darkness and the other side in continual sunlight, blasted by red dwarf flares.

These factors and many others suggest that, with all the planets associated with the billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy, the estimated probable number of planets with Earth-like conditions hospitable to intelligent life is likely very close to the experimentally known value of one.

presented the this week at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society

Probably 90% of the participants go there on government money where they hear boring lectures from 9-5 and then party till midnight or after.

Best candidates are those orbiting G2V stars, like our own.

Many are within 300 light years.
