Finding giant gas planets is interesting but we really need to be able to locate smaller rock planets similar to Earth or Mars.

All very interesting. However if Einstein was right, no biological or mechanical entity from these planets could ever physically reach us or us them. However Earth has been transmitting huge amounts of digitized communications for the last forty years. Who knows? They may have reached a Civilization twenty or thirty light years away and return messages may be on the way.

Thanks for the BEAUTIFUL photos, as usual.

I don't think there is anyone out there...but it IS beautiful.

Our Creator has magnificent taste.
