The Ames Research Centre team has just revealed that they'll be making a big announcement on Thursday at 4pm UTC (9am PDT on Thursday, or 2am AEST on Friday) about the exoplanet-hunting Kepler mission. And speculation is already running wild that they may be about to announce the discovery of a new Earth-like planet in the habitable zone of a star... in other words, a potential new home for humanity (or prime spot to look for extraterrestiral life).

Seems like this is monthly news. Always a new story about a new planet that can possilbly host life, but always too far off to truly know.
Cant wait to hear what they say

Good. I support more funding for NASA

They found a valley on a planet a trillion miles from here that they assume might have billions of years ago had water?

Cool, I expect the fraud Bill Nye to be all over this and claim the discovery as his own.

So we have a long way to go before we can pack up and move planets.

Our only chance is for aliens to show us their technology.

If given the opportunity to colonize a new planet would you go? Would you like to be one of the first groups to explore the newly found planet?
Posted on 7/22/15 at 11:39 am to spacewrangler
Mars and Venus are the only two options right now and I would say no to both of those.
