Your insults suggest that you know exactly what I'm talking about and need to deflect.

These are the folks whom after observing a star 100 million light years from Earth being temporarily blocked by what is hypothesized to be an orbiting planet, will after making a few hasty calculations determine that its Earth sized, may, I said may, have oceans on the surface with thick Amazonian Jungles but then again it may not because they can't see any surface objects on the planet being too far away with the term goldilocks invariably being mentioned.

Link to a source for that claim please.

The opening story I quoted was word for word identical to an actual story at Space.com written about two months ago in describing the very first Earth sized planet ever discovered that included the details about "there may be water on it, but then again there may not be". The exoplanets are much too far away to make out any surface details.

The way they discover exo-planets is by observing how long the the light of a distant star is obscured by some seeming orbiting planet. I would ordinarily send a link to a story like that but why make you look even stupider than you already are by sending you the article I quoted that you mocked like the dimwit you are?
