So if you put a 7 year old in a spaceship, they arrive at the new planet at age 60, having spent their whole life in boring outer space?
I’ll pass.

In just over twenty seven years, the technology and techniques used to spot exoplanets has improved to this point -- very impressive.

Does it have intelligent life? When an alien saw Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Maxine Waters, Omar and Tailb together, they didn't see intelligent life amongst those 4...😋

I’m glad I don’t live there; I’d be almost 3000 years old.

Actually, assuming near speed of light, he would still be about 8-10 years old due to time slowing down for him. 60 years would have passed for us and another 60 for us when the child had returned at about age 11-12.

Meh. I can find Venus without a telescope.

If one could instantly accelerate to the speed of light and instantly decelerate to zero, a person could visit the entire universe, aging only when they are not travelling. Of course, they would have to say goodbye forever to everyone at any site they visited.
Assuming the theory of relativity is correct, time doesn’t pass when you are travelling at the speed of light, so from your perspective, you would arrive at each destination at the same moment you left the last one.

It seems like just yesterday there was no proof of any planets outside the solar system, Mars had canals, and Jupiter only four moons. Plus, the jigsaw puzzle fit of the continents was just a coincidence. We’re come a long way, baby.

Orbits super-close to a flare star.
Another Earth? Don't think so. It's only a new Earth to Demonrats from hell.

It looks to be the Romulan home world.
Not to worry as in 2387 a supernova will destroy it and it’s 4.2 billion inhabitants.
