7 Earth-sized planets spotted orbiting nearby star
A huddle of seven worlds, all close in size to Earth, and perhaps warm enough for water and the life it can sustain, has been spotted around a small, faint star in the constellation of Aquarius.

The discovery, which has thrilled astronomers, has raised hopes that the hunt for alien life beyond the solar system could start much sooner than previously thought, with the next generation of telescopes that are due to switch on in the next decade.

It is the first time that so many Earth-sized planets have been found in orbit around the same star, an unexpected haul that suggests the Milky Way may be teeming with worlds that, in size and firmness underfoot at least, resemble our own rocky home.

Interesting timing though. Synchronicity, coincidence or a message? 5a

Hmmm, according to their own cosmology there should be smaller rocky planets in the inner orbits and larger gassy planets in the outer orbits.

Homo Sapien Earthlings would be the new illegal aliens if we happen to even make a trek out there.

The other planet inhabitants should obliterate us in their best interests if we Earthlings take a step too far and get too close to their orbit.

Apparently we have a secret space program, so if we do we are probably there already.
