Hussein only wanted NASA to do outreach to Muslims.

"Hussein only wanted NASA to do outreach to Muslims."
It's Kepler's Law, not Mustafa's Law.

If viewed from outside our solar system, Venus would be the holy grail of “Earth-like” planets: A rocky planet that is almost exactly the same size and mass as Earth and that orbits a G-type main sequence star within the apparent “Goldilocks zone.”

It is located in the constellation of the Sextant at 50 parsecs
Wow, that’s FAST!

Being that close to their sun, they will all be tidal locked, with one hemisphere always noon, and the other side always midnight.
If these planets are too hot, and they would be on the noon side, the reverse would be too cold.
Just imagine the dynamics of the atmosphere if they have any. Warm air rising on the sun side, cold air falling on the reverse... How would the winds flow? Could humans survive in the periphery of the sun side, where it is always dawn/evening twilight?

If Earth did not have a strong geomagnetic field and a large moon it would probably look a lot more like Venus. As far as I know, we have not yet developed a means to determine if “Earth-like” exoplanets have either.

How they “find” and estimate the size of these planets is underwhelming.
Find a star.
Observe light flickers that indirectly indicate something passing between the star and the observer.
Quantify the reduction in light, and translate that to the size of the object.
I know you have to start somewhere, but this isn’t exactly exciting.
