These conjectures about exoplanets are really outrageous reaches. They notice a dimming of a distant star and just come to these conclusions about “habitability?

They’ve never even heard of McDonald’s. Then again, we don’t know their fast food giant, either.

Probably tidal locked. Which means even if humanity could visit, it might not be the most hospitable place.

Remember, this is an article written by Hank Berrien about what he thought he heard scientists say.

I doubt that the star LP 890-9 is “resting.” It’s probably traveling incredibly fast, just as the sun and the other objects in the solar system are.

Orbits its star every eight and a half days? That planet would have to be very close to its sun, or traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, or both. Depending on whether or not it has a magnetosphere, even at distance any atmosphere it may have had would be stripped away. Too close and it's an oven -- uninhabitable on that basis alone. Not to mention little things like water, etc...

These claims are all so exaggerated and so speculative. It's a discredit to astrophysics.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of LP 890-9c

One Hundred Light Years.

People cannot even begin to comprehend what that means - there is no escape hatch out there.

I just want Pluto back in my Solar System. Is that so much to ask? ;)

That close to the star, it’s got to be tidally locked. And red, cool stars are flare stars. There won’t be any life on it after a few flares sterilize it.

Will take a lot of fuel to get there.
