Finally…the announcement we’ve all been waiting for:
The SETI Institute and NASA have confirmed the discovery of Kepler 452b, the most Earth-like planet ever encountered. Located in the Goldilocks zone of its host star, this planet would have “just the right” conditions to support liquid water and possibly even life.
“Kepler 452b takes us one step closer to understanding how many habitable planets are out there,” said Joseph Twicken, SETI’s lead scientific programmer for the Kepler mission.
This is incredible could you imagine how much we can learn about the future? And even potentially focus on one area to see if there are organisms rather than the scatter approach we have been using?
Let’s find out more about this new planet on page 2

What are we to do with it? We can’t just go take over another planet…
If we can get there first, we could provided its not inhabited
This is there way of letting us know. But the thing is they have been knowing of this. And plenty of more to come…they don’t just wanna rip the bandaid off fast. Slowly so nothing is thrown into chaos
I’m not an expert but my guess would be all earth like planets are going to be inhabited with some type of living organisms.
This, this is their big freaking announcement? Another earth-like planet so far away from us that no one will step foot on it.
I stayed at the Holiday Inn last night and trust me! that other planet is going to the purest spirits happening here, you’re in the end of times so are we all ready I am see ya there, peace
We will never ever reach this planet. I’m sure there is life there tho. But if so how will this affect Christianity and the solidification of theory of evolution?
It’s better then earth….no kardashians
No vacancy.
Ignorance is bliss
It is far away but with advances in science we could yet reach it one day. People once said it would be impossible to make a flying machine out even leave the planet, what’s to say they’re isn’t a way of getting there we haven’t created yet
How cool would it be to be the alien
Can’t visit, but can see it. Learn from it.
Earnest is absolutely right. but ill go further. these are the beginning slow steps to see how we react. in the end it will be revealed that not only have they found perhaps thousands of these planets, but we are also in contact with intelligences from some of these planets
The “new” Em drive will get us there soon enough and beyond
With a big laugh from me
Does that matter? no. This means that there’s a possibility that a non earth dweller may have already stepped upon the earth like planet and may quite possibly be living there.
I don’t think it’ll affect either one. Now people are different than beliefs. For instance Christian might freak out but it never states in the bible we are the only beings. I’m Christian and I fully support the fact that other intellectual life is out there.
What about Kepler 186 f!
Is that the planet the just found that could sustain life?
^^the MOST Stiles
This makes me want to touch myself!
Stop pushing this fuckery! https://youtu.be/YJ4qZoUJ3C0
Lets ask permission of those who live there first.
Hmmmmmmm… I have thought and said this many times every time I see articles like this ..
But it makes me asks the question and it’s obvious ..
Show the actual goddam picture of all is the findings and planets .. i am tired of all of the “ARTIST RENDITIONS”, of the planets. Show the actual image already … this is ridiculous!
I agree with Judy Jackson and the atmosphere looks very foggy compared to earth in this picture.
Sign me up
Me too. I feel so gyped. We should be farther than we are, but morons who yearn for yesterday keep holding us in a stagnant mindset.
Its not the real picture of the planet just something some artist did
We have no idea, what so ever about anything to do with this planet, we just know it’s in a habitable zone in relation to its star. Could be completely devoid of life.
We almost seem…. desperate…. for another planet to destroy
So how does gravity work?
Hell if I know. But that’s the thing… the fact it’s just a theory and no one has proven it… but my question is what else is being lied about and why fake it?
Yeah, but that’s 1400 light Years!!! So with current speeds it might take us about 28 million Years… Let’s go everybody!!!
I’ll go
Why so we can liberalize that planet too
They’ll never be able to do that. They are just going by data and that’s all it’ll ever be.
