While these researchers found evidence for liquid water clouds on K2-18 b, because of its lack of surface, rain wouldn't pool on the planet. As rainfall travels through the thick gas surrounding the planet's core, it would become so warm that the water would evaporate back up into the clouds where it would condense and fall again, Benneke said. So in reality, they haven't found a planet with water. But beyond that, using one of the fastest space crafts ever developed, the Voyager 1 space probe, it would take roughly 1,736,809 years to travel 100 light years, traveling at its maximum velocity of 38,612 mph. We would still be 173,681 years away. The entire 1 way trip would be 1,910,490 years.

I’ll go if I can wake up along the way and wake Jennifer Lawrence for company. I could put up with a little Leftism if it was just her and me...
