18 times more massive than Earth is not “Earth like”

Neither is a temperature of 227 °C (440 °F).

They are seeing a picture from around the year 1830 when the book of Morman was first published.

I want one of these new discoveries to be called LV-426....
Just one...
To: Red Badger
"The planetary system lies about 195 light-years away..." Yep... Just one jump away... Perfect for a weekend trip...

Right. They are too close to their parent star.

...the year 1830 when the book of Morman was first published... Or, more importantly, Michael Faraday invents a method of electromagnetic induction.

Both planets are rocky, orbit their star at short distances, and yet differ dramatically in terms of mass and density.

(rotating around the Adrian-Bulwinkle binary star cluster)
IF they've recovered crashed UFOs and IF they're able to reverse engineer from them PERHAPS mankind might develop means of traveling that somehow bypasses speed of light limitation and colonize a habitable "Goldilocks" world.
My guess is that we exterminate ourselves long before that; but that's no reason to give up trying.

The planetary system lies about 195 light-years away, Not exactly what I'd call nearby.
I think the nearest star is about 4.5 light years away, so if we could travel at the speed of light (a BIG if), it would make an exploratory mission do-able, say 4.5 years out, 1 year on station, and 4.5 years back, for a 10-year mission. You could probably find people to do that. But 195 years each way???

“...not likely habitable...”
A characteristic it shares with every other celestial object that is not Earth.
Are they studying this stuff because there’s no more lint in their belly buttons?
