Hopefully not repetitive info.... ping.

Thanks for the post; these are turning into exciting times with all the discoveries.

Thanks for the post. I like to see this information.

When I was born, there was zero proof of any exoplanets. Today, they are finding them faster than I can keep up. What an amazing time to be alive.

Society won't stabilize until each group of people has its own solar system.. galaxy cluster would be ideal. Individual planets won't do, IMO.

About a year away at Warp 5.

Kirk: Warp 5 now.

Scotty: Nay Cap’n, she'll no hold together that long at Warp 5.

If there are 9, there are probably more. Those "super earths" are close in, and so have signifigent impact on the star's motion. A similar sized planet farther out, say 90-100 Million miles out, would have a much smaller "signal".

127 light-years is one long trek

If anyone is there, it won't be long now that they start getting our radio broadcasts. First voice broadcast was in 1906, but wireless Morse was used for 10 or so years before that. It will be 2033 before that first voice broadcast reaches there, again with Morse signals maybe 10 years sooner.

Somewhere in that solar system is a website very much like FR.

From the article: "... it may actually have nine exoplanets orbiting it. "

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before astronomers reclassify one of them as an "ex-exo-planet".

I think it will be funny when in 200 years or so, everything accepted today as science fact will be demolished as foolish and dangerously stupid.
