Earth-size alien planet in the habitable zone of its host star

That's a good descriptor. Obviously there are other factors that make a planet habitable for life as we know it but a reasonable description just the same.

Jane Curtin: Astronomers are baffled over a new peculiar star that has been spotted in the sky. And here with a report, is our friend Father Guido Sarducci. Father?

Father Guido Sarducci: ...I read about this other planet. It’s-a like, the sun is-a here and the Earth is-a here.. and on-a the other side-a of the sun, there’s this other planet we can’t see, you know, because the sun is-a blocking it from us.. but it’s-a just-a like-a the Earth in every single way, it’s like a mirror planet of Earth. There’s only one difference, and it’s that they eat-a corn on-a the cob-a like-a this.. [ demonstrates eating corn on the cob North-South instead of West-East ] That’s it! That’s the only difference. I’m not going there, you know, it’s-a too messy. I’m used to eating it-a like-a this.. [ demonstrates West-East eating structure ] I just don’t want-a change, habit like.

Well, it’s been-a more than-a wonderful spending a couple-a moments with you. Arreviderci, America!

Jane Curtin: That’s the news. Good night, and have a pleasant Mother’s Day.

Somebody must have seen something wobble or flicker through a telescope.

Furture space telescopes will look for atmospheric biosignatures.

When & Where will First Encounter Occur?

[lurk]

Only 490 light years away. So, if we send out a machine right now, and it averages 100,000 mph, it will get there when?

For the second time today, FReepers have discovered a story about an Earth-size alien planet in the habitable zone of its host star, an "Earth cousin" that just might have liquid water and the right conditions for life.

Hey, man. Sounds like a great place to grow all the weed we’ll ever need, man.

[stinkerpot65]

Ah, yes. The desperate search to prop up evolution.

[kjam22]

Like they really know .... these type of statements are always pointless.

There’s also a galactic goldilocks zone necessary for Life to arise.

“Size of a planet and its location around a star are only two out of over a dozen factors that determine whether a planet is habitable. They don’t consider in these news articles whether the system is within the Galactic Habitable Zone.
