" . . . orbiting a cool red dwarf star called HD 260655, which is just 33 light-years away."
Just 33 light-years away? I might check it out sometime.
To: Red Badger
5.9 trillion miles x 33 = lots. We’re not going there, anytime soon.

Why do they call them super-Earths? There is no similarity except for the fact that they are both planets. They are more in line with Neptune in size and they are out of the habitable zone.
Just trying to get clicks on the article.

Whoopy do, totally meaningless bs, man could NEVER get there, so who really cares...
To: Red Badger
Note: “nearby” = 19400000000000000 miles.
To: Red Badger
While the worlds are unlikely to be habitable...
IOW, they are not “super earths”. The whole draw of another “earth” is, to use a Star Trek phrase, that it is a “class M” planet. If it isn’t, it’s just another interesting planet, but don’t forget your space suit.

To: wbarmy
Yep. as I said in my post above this one, if it isn’t “class M”, it’s just a planet.
I suppose we’d call Venus an “earth like planet” if we found it this way.

Let’s see. My F350 turbo diesel gets 16.5 highway. I’d need at least 117,575,757,575,757 gallons of diesel at $7 per gallon.
I think I need to start a gofundme.
To: wbarmy
Super-earths are solid like the earth, but a few times heavier. Neptune and Uranus are about 17 and 15 times heavier, respectively, but as gas giants are about 60 times the volume.

5.8 trillion x 33. That’s going to be the national debt in six months.
