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.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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.

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.

ping for future.

BBC articles can be posted in their entirety.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Ping of interest.

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

Class M Planet

[Hardastarboard]

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.

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.

A red sun...let’s name it Krypton

Since we have failed, God is probably starting over, since we are on the brink of Armageddon.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

Now if we could just figure out how to overcome the aging process, time, and space. Oh wait, I believe Jesus already did that, and when we see him, we will be like him, making all those things possible. Like sightseeing any object in the Universe, even though Earth will always eternally be home sweet home.

Do they have Democrats there?

An interesting discovery.

Starbucks and a McDonalds soon to follow.

[Lurking in Kansas]

They say the benign temperatures on the planet mean any water there could exist in liquid form, and this raises the chances it could also harbour life.

Wow, that a ‘discovery’. Sounds like a lot of speculating going on based on looking through a telescope.

Fascinating stuff.
