Because nobody can prove them wrong. They spend years researching this shite and if they want that research money to keep coming in they have to come out with some outlandish shite.

Based upon the light reflected back from the planet, I believe.

Exactly right, they don’t know shite.

Might as well focus on earthly things bc it is the only planet humans will ever step foot on, maybe with the exception of mars if we ever decide to waste a shitload of money putting lives at risk.

Why you gotta bring war talk into a thread about space?

Observations suggest that the expansion of the universe will continue forever. If so, then the universe will cool as it expands and planetary bodies are pulled away from stars, eventually becoming too cold to sustain life.


96% of the galaxies we see with telescopes have already passed beyond the cosmic horizon, meaning they are traveling faster than light relative to the Milky Way. This is because of the expansion of spacetime.

quote:

If the universe lacks the repulsive effect of dark energy, then gravity will eventually stop the expansion of the universe and it will start to contract until all the matter in the universe collapses to a final singularity.


About 5 billion years ago, the repulsive force of dark energy overcame the attractive force of gravity. Thus began the acceleration of spacetime expansion.

Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e — which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater – may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer.


This is worded as if the planet is visible with the naked eye. The star 55 Cancri is visible to the naked eye, not the planet.

Good thing we don't have little teaspoon things like that flying around space.. hate to get hit by one.
It's worse than that. The ones flying around space are 10 miles wide!

They don't. Predictions about the planets in our own solar system were wrong. I sure as hell don't have any faith that know what's happening on a planet around another star.
This stuff essentially serves as commercials for the space business. They want and need your money. Of course good stuff can come from it, but it's also a lot of bs.

....somebody or something created all this.....set all this in motion. Everything has an origin.....a beginning.

At which point the whole thing would presumably start all over.

The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way – where our solar system is – at rate of around 110 kilometres per second (68 mi/s) and eventually the two will collide to form a giant elliptical galaxy. 

One of the things that always blows my mind is that in this "collision" of the 2 galaxies, the odds of 2 bodies actually colliding is infinitesimally small. The distance between planets/suns/etc is so great that they would all just be flying by each other without ever actually colliding
