Hell, that's right around the corner. We'll take your ship. SHOTGUN!
The Japanese word Subaru means “six” or refers to the Pleiades. (The number of naked eye stars in the the Pleiades varies between cultures.) The car company got its name, because it was the result of the amalgamation of six separate car companies.
The car company subsidizes the telescope, and as you probably know, the logo of the car company is a representation of the asterism. BTW, Mitsubishi means “three diamonds”, which explains their logo.
Let’s go there and enslave it’s inhabitants...
Far out, man.
Yes. I’m given to understand that the dimmest of the Seven Sisters is a long term variable that is sometimes bright enough to be naked-eye visible and sometimes not. The number of stars a culture asserts are in the Pleiades varies with when they got around to noticing it and naming it.
send all liberals and democrats there and they can make up the government they want and leave the rest of the earth alone.....
This is interesting. From my memory of basic physics, gravitational pull is directly proportional to mass (seven times the mass, 7 times the pull), and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from center of mass to center of mass [2.6 times the radius = 1/(2.6 squared)]. This calculates out to a surface gravity of 84% of Earth gravity. So, actually somewhat less than Earth's!
The previous Aarchaeus made a math mistake. His equation is all right, but he should have come up with 1.035, or 3-1/2 percent more than Earth’s gravity. My twin bro is sorta careless sometimes.
Try an entry capsule that after water landing turns into a solar yacht and begins dispensing plankton and fertilized sardine and tuna eggs. Bring the crew out of hibernation when the tuna are grillin’ size.
Call it Charlie’s World.
What would this planet’s gravity be?
Okay, that rules out option B. I'm pulling for option C, because I don't really want a massive black hole 40 Light years from earth and heading our direction.
Calculated based on the data in the posted article, its surface gravity would be about 3.5% greater than on earth, surprisingly similar. Wikipedia gives 9% lower, which is consistent with the slightly different radius and mass they use. It is almost certainly tidally locked to the its sun, meaning it always keeps the same face towards the sun, just as the Moon keeps the same face towards the sun.
the moon keeps the same face towards the earth, not the sun. A solar day on the moon is 29.53 earth days.
and guss what, their’s climate change going on there too!
Huh? They found a planet in a giant black hole 10,000 light years aways?

GJ 1214 b, which is located 40 light years from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus, northwest of the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
