An interesting discovery.

Running water? Does this mean indoor plumbing? What are their building codes like? How about their public schools?
The world is wondering.

a world which could have water running on its surface The big question about these far-away planets: Does it appear to be cooling or warming. Perhaps aiming our radioscopes and telescopes at them may be inducing warming there.
Any scientist studying this planet must of course now purchase offsets to allow investigations to continue... to receive more funding grants, that is.

Some scientists are desperate for fame. They will say anything to get into the news. The news media comply and use words like “another earth”, “habitable planet”, and other fantasies.
It is much too soon to know if the planet is earthlike.
To: FostersExport
They say the benign temperatures on the planet sure..that's for now.
wanna bet "they" will soon notice huge flucuations in those temps and we'll have Global Warming II....AND it will STILL somehow be linked to SUVs, cell phones, and/or George W. Bush.

This exoplanet is the closest in size to Earth so far found, and is in its star system’s habitable zone.

Hmmm, another “Class M” planet. Prepare an away team to beam to the surface.

This is GREAT news! A perfect place for our liberals and enviros to migrate. They can start over fresh, with an unspoiled planet, implement their utopian nut case ideas there, and LEAVE US ALONE! It would take them about a year to realize, once and for all, that their ideas don’t work in the “real world”. Free Republic, Rush Limbaugh, and President Bush would be a little too far away for them to be able to blame at that point.

Lets get the oil rigs up and running.
The freepers on the other thread used faulty physics. According to this picture, the gravitational force is only around 1.6 times that of Earth's. So, what's the formula for determining gravitational force based on mass and radius?

Any astronomy literate people here who can describe how they determine it has liquid water and how they plan on determining if it has life? Is it spectral analysis like they use to determine star makeup?

Warp factor 2, Mr. Sulu.
But what about this? Does it have a moon to protect it from asteroids and to churn this seas? We have a remarkable planet here in our girl Earth. No need to go elsewhere.

This is GREAT news! A perfect place for our liberals and enviros to migrate. OH, they'll get there and realize they weigh a whole lot more. Then, imagine the weird diets they'll go on to lose weight.

Ok, I’m confused. I did a search for planet and none of those threads came up. This did surprise me but I’ve double checked my search.
