Whole lot of speculation going on. They can only say it actually meets a couple out of dozens of the requirements for a planet to be called “habitable”.

IMO, it’s a planet of interest, just like all others are.

You can only tell so much from spectrum analysis. We didn’t even know what Pluto looked like until a few days ago.

Just because it’s in the zone, doesn’t mean it looks any different than Venus or Mars.

This is pure hype. Look at all these marvelous discoveries and continue to fund us folks.

I support the funding. I don’t support this nonsense.

More wishful fantasy spinning by NASA in hopes of keeping funding for dubious science.
Every year they run this play during Congresses deliberation on NASA funding.

“They” have been telling me this for 50 years.

These writers of real estate property descriptions are all the same no matter the size or distance of the listing.

“Newly listed planet. Charming fixer-upper in a rural neighborhood. The commute is a bit long (1400 light years), but the tranquility when you arrive makes the journey worthwhile.”

“Homeowners Association managed by the Romulans. Pest control provided by the Borg. “

“Ready to move in...”

/s

Seriously, 1400 light years away and they imagine they can tell if it is habitable?

1,400 light years away? Heck, it may not even be there now. Who knows?
