hmmmm
I'm not doing anything.
X-O Planet Ping!......................
I’m going to get out my flashlight and send “Drink Your Ovaltine” out that direction in Morse code. If we get the reply “That’s a stupid old joke” in 62 years, we’ll know we got ‘em.
Just kidding, a very interesting post, thanks for sharing.
At one light year per minute, it will be an easy commute!
Wait?
Its probably tidal locked.
I wonder why discussions of possible alien life seem to only be applied to water-based life. Why not light-based life? Silicon? Does a state of life require a solid body? Why?
Pardon my 2AM thoughts.
Yeah,
only 186,000,000,000,000 miles away. Just, indeed.
So...
If the planet is orbiting a red star, does that mean that any life forms that evolve would, automatically, be communists?
Its a red dwarf - you’ll love the hard radiation bath every day. Nice tan!
Wow, 31 light years. Thing’s practically in our hip pocket…relativity speaking.
Vulcan!
If we get started early in the morning we can be there in no time...Especially at the speed of light.

Operative words: “may be”.
sheila jackson lee says we should go there and get our flag back.
The most “Earth like” planet ever discovered is almost the same size and mass as Earth and orbits a yellow dwarf star at relatively close to the same orbit as Earth.
It is called Venus. Up close it is not very Earth like.
I suspect that most “Earth like” exoplanets are far more “Venus like” or “Mars like” than they are Earth like.
I'm telling you right now, they dont know diddly squat about what might me!! there is no way in hell their models and guesstimates can tell if a planet is in a orbital zone that would sustain life from 31 MILLION light years away!! Earth has life, Mars does not. and there is only 50 million miles between us!! and can anyone seriously tell me that judging/estimating this, something that would actually compare to a grain of sand against our solar system to 50 Million miles against 31 Million Light Years!! and I think im shy using the grain of sand/solar system example...
smh...
As I recall the Borg took over the Wolf 359 system in a huge battle. Probably best to stay away from that area.
Only 31 light years? Biden probably has his people gearing up for refugee applications as we speak, and NASA will be tasked with bringing them here.
On the bright side, there will at last be a rationale for a manned space program that democrats will support.
