Must be a Class M Planet. The Global Warming kooks will probably try to say CO2 from Earth is killing the aliens.

Yippeee! We’re saved from ourselves! Now, there is no limit to where we can send those Liberals. I say we start right doing that immediately!

.....maybe they knew about us,before we found out about .....them

A light year is 9 Trillion Miles...and if this thing is 40 light years away.....its NOT NEAR BY IN LAYMAN’S Terms.

While the planet probably has too thick of an atmosphere and is too hot to support life...

A consensus here on earth is forming that this planet once did support life, but it developed SUVs and harnessed coal and oil for power. The civilization there not only heated their atmosphere, but the added CO2 added to their atmosphere, killing them off.

**Scientists Spot Nearby ‘Super-Earth’**

What’s it like?

JERRY: Yeah. Like Bizarro Superman. Superman’s exact opposite, who lives in the backwards bizarro world. Up is Down. Down is Up. He says “Hello” when he leaves, “Good bye” when he arrives.

Isn’t the Journal “Nature” one of the ones being used by Climategate “scientists” to keep out Global Warming deniers from getting “peer reviewed” articles published?

Maybe I’m thinking of something else....just for some reason have a negative reaction to seeing this is in that publication.

Wow, as soon as we learn to travel at the speed of light we can make a round trip in just...eighty years.

seem to remember a movie way back about the same thing the earth double was unseen because it was on the other side of the sun in the same orbit as earth a space ship from earth landed on it by mistake.

...major breakthrough in humanity's search for life on other planets.

huh? The only "breakthrough" possible in a random search like this is actually finding life on other planets. We're no nearer to finding it that we were before this discovery.

Don't get me wrong--this is cool. But it's not a "major breakthrough".

[NormsRevenge]

Cool. another planet for mankind to pillage and plunder. :-)
