New Planet?

[musicman]

Excellent new discovery of a new planet with potential for being hospitable to life...anyone got a vehicle that goes 120 trillion miles?

Neat! I just had an oil change on my Olds ... :)

... nah, that wouldn't work.

I don't know of any rest rooms to make pit stops at or Mickey D's to stop at for burgers and fries. :(

This qualifies as habitable?

If you look at the energy output of a red dwarf, it's not conducive to life as we know it.

Was wondering about that myself but then I got to calculating how much the road trip to the new planet would cost me.

Let's see....... gas at $3.50/gal. and I get about 40 mpg on the highway. Hmmm, not sure if they have gas stations along the route though and what if I run into a detour? :shrug:

Yeah, I believe I'll just drive out to California this summer instead. :D

Hmm, red sun, much stronger gravity than Earth, possibly could have life...

Egad, they've discovered Krypton!!!

Egad, they've discovered Krypton!!!

Or kryptonite (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/discoveries/2007-04-24-kryptonite-discovered_N.htm?csp=34) anyway...
