Oswald Cobblepot User ID: 59267114 Bahrain 02/23/2017 06:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: aqmah* 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.

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.
