55 Cancri is located 41 million light-years from the Earth, in the constellation of Cancer. The star, believed to be around five billion years old, is visible to the naked eye, astronomers said.

More like 41 L.Y. in order for it to be visible -- 41 million is farther than most of the galaxies in our local "neighborhood".

Also, for the solar system to be truly similar to our own, the scientists will have to find evidence of a planet imminently in danger of extinction from greenhouse gases due to the activities of its inhabitants ... ;^)

.......OR, the Scientists will have to find a Planet with a Population in "Imminent Danger" of "Self-Immolation," due to the "ravings" of a "Quasi-Religious Group of 'Self-Appointed Prophets of Doom'" who have Parlayed a Dubious collection of "Junk Science" into a "Political Force," & are attempting to create a "Political Power Base" for their own Personal Profit!!

The "Global warming Schtick" has FAR MORE credibility in "Cut-Throat Politics" than it has in Serious Scientific Discussion!!

BEWARE!!--"Global Warming" MAY WELL BE a "House of Cards!!"
