A rocky planet that orbits a star and is roughly the size of Earth... must be Aliens there!...and what a bonus it’s only 39 light years away!

So, what do you think about this?
I find these kind of videos highly entertaining.
Not that I believe then, but they are very entertaining.

“...the most likely place for life outside our solar system...”

Because “life” is so simple - just add water!

Two words: tidal. locking.

Two more words: flare. star.

Plus, we will never know if there is life on any of those planets, because nobody living now will ever go there.

Oh, only 39 LY. Great, let me know when we can travel at about 50LY/Y. I could dig a trip of 9 months or so to get there!

Saying “earth-sized” and their childish use of “earth-like”, based on so few particular is insulting to any “scientific” claim these spheres are “like Earth”.

It is no better than saying they are “earth like” merely because they are planets orbiting a star. It takes dozens of other attributes, besides being “rocky” to ACTUALLY be like Earth.

When actual carbon-based water-oxgyen based life is found on some planet somewhere, then it can be said to be “earth like” in the most essential sense. Until then “pseudo” science is grasping at straws and selling ads on web pages; not much else.
