Wet X-O Planet Ping!.................

[fwdude]

An ocean of sulfuric acid, right?

[Red Badger]

All oceans are equal.................

[BenLurkin]

Unlike here on earth where we are covered in deep...

[oldasrocks]

100 light yrs? By the time we get there it will be all dried up if not already.

[Jamestown1630]

Maybe we’ll develop warp drive in time...

[Henchster]

It’s just a mere 587 trillion miles, you could hike there and back over a long weekend, right?

[DannyTN]

deep oceans, the perfect planet for deep state.

[moovova]

Catch a wave and you’re sitting on top of the world.

[fidelis]

Covered in ocean?? WooHoo! surf’s up! Cowabunga, dudes!!

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Good to know!

Oh, wait.

Never mind!

How many Tesla recharges will that take?

The FISHING would be AWESOME!..........................

“The researchers noted, however, that it’s also possible that TOI-1452b is not an ocean planet. They say it could also be a bare-rock planet with an iron content less than half of the Earth’s — or a terrestrial planet with a thin, low molecular weight atmosphere”

or.....or.....or.....ie. they don’t really know much of anything at all.

That line was buried else non of you would have evne clicke on the article.

Well, it is 100 light-years away, after all. I’d be a lot more skeptical if they did claim to know for sure.

"How many Tesla recharges will that take?"

Let's just say that a Tesla could do 100mph for 3 hours before needing a charge.

Let's also say there is a recharge station exactly every 300 miles precisely on course.

Let's also say the charging station can recharge the battery to 100% in just 1 hour.

If you leave on Tuesday, you'll arrive on Friday. 893 million years later. {;^)
