Unfortunately, the atmosphere is 100% Covid.
not that we would hesitate for even a second to pollute another biosphere
What is the name of the planet?
What are its temperature and atmosphere like?
Unfortunately, all mammals tend to drown.
50 light years away?
Not exactly a baseball’s toss in distance.
But then, I have to remember, Mars is at least what?
Some 238. MILLION Light Years away from earth, and we have already managed to send23 cameras there to peep around.
So, you never know.
Any water gotten from this exoplanet would have to be full sterilized and analyzed before use.
They can make a movie about it. Maybe have Kevin Costner have the lead.
So what? I am from Missouri—prove it.
Closer to its sun than Venus. It would be hot 2 1/2 times Earth mass would mean 100 pounds here would be 250 pounds there.
Mars isn’t 238 million light years away
But Google said...
“howed that it had three planets orbiting it called b, c, and d.”
So, what was the fate of “a”??
Your math is way off, you might want to ping a moderator to delete it.
On average, Mars is about 158 million miles from Earth — so the average time for light to travel from Earth to Mars takes about 14 minutes and 6 seconds. 14 minutes is a lot less than 50 years.
Earth to mars distance is 238 million MILES (not light years).
One (1) light year is approx. 5.88 trillion miles.
“Planet d also seems to have more water than Earth does. But scientists think it will be in the form of either high-pressure ice or hot water vapor.”
But it’s a dry heat.
[[So, what was the fate of “a”??]]
b c and d ate it for breakfast
Only fifty light years away? Let’s sign up all congress, senate and executive branch. Build rockets in a year, escape the pandemic for good!
If there was a dollar for every mile, then the US is over 3 trillion light years in debt.
1 million seconds is about 11 days; 1 billion seconds is about 31 years; and 1 trillion seconds is about 31,000 years.
And as Woody Allen says, eternity is a long time, especially towards the end.
