NASA to Announce Kepler Discovery at Media Briefing
 
Quote:
Kepler is the first NASA mission capable of finding Earth-size planets in or near the "habitable zone," the region in a planetary system where liquid water can exist on the surface of the orbiting planet. Although additional observations will be needed over time to achieve that milestone, Kepler is detecting planets and planet candidates with a wide range of sizes and orbital distances to help us better understand our place in the galaxy.

Fingers crossed that this is going to be huge.
Please be huge >.<

Wasn't there a NASA news conference before about something? Something we thought could be mind-blasting?

Those of you that saw this and are hoping to live on another planet in your lifetime are going to be disappointed... :okay:

hey, people born in the late 1960's are supposed to be the first bi-centennials.

which would make us 1980's or some of these 90's kids here, the first... immortals? lol.

wasnt there an announcement on the news like yesterday? that they found a planet much much larger than earth that was habitable ?

something like that and it was 35million light years away or something

That would be quite the discovery...
Now we just need to solve the whole distance problem. 35 million light years isn't a stone throws away =d

Who the fuck gives that we find a planet million of light years away, someone invent warp speed first, then mind will be blown

Humans might not be enthralled with the planet, as “just right” in HD85512b's case is near-paralyzing humidity and temperatures between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius, plus 1.4 times the gravity we experience here.

okay so how do these spacecrafts confirm all that information from what I just presume to be only pictures taken?

white_guilt 09-14-2011 07:57 PM
probably won't be anything major. if it's catastrophic, they probably won't announce it. If it's awesome (i.e intelligent life) , they probably won't announce it. We as a species are not ready for either of those scenarios. Too many idiots on this planet.

This is what we should be working on building if we want to live off this planet.

I respectfully disagree.

Space is dangerous. We better venture out protected.
