I follow this stuff some what closely and I find it absurd that some of these things are reported. It is not just the size, it also has to be in the goldilocks zone and have the right type of sun. Having an orbit time that can be be counted in hours really does matter.
I believe that intelligent life can exist somewhere in the universe but we have yet to find it.

OH, does this mean that they are “just like Earth”? and that we should plan on colonizing them?

Hopefully, there’s no life on them there planets. Us Americans just can’t afford to go throwing anymore welfare at foreigners.

Not just gravity, but many things.
Why has the “search for life”, actual life, within and beyond the solar system been so elusive? It is not as frequently occurring as many would like to think.

“ It has a compact system of at least three rocky planets of similar size to the Earth (1.1, 1.0 and 1.1 Earth radii) that orbit the star every 5.2, 7.8 and 10.1 days, respectively. A lot of celebrating? New Years Eve every 5.2, 7.8, and 10.1 days. Too far away to determine lengths of their days.

Hey, Huey, Dewey, and Louie! We have the tech to build them now - I want one. They were the coolest droids ever on film.
