Shadow 6,707 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Who's ready for interstellar travel? Did they mention which star system the planet is located?Our closest neighborhood star system is Proxima Centuri which is 4.24 light years away, which in miles would be 2.49248392 × 10 to the 13th power miles away.Even if we found a way to cross the space, without going light speed, none of us would make the journey, it would have to be our great, great descendants that would live to even arrive and that's to the closest star. Maybe if we could open up a wormhole or an Einstein-Rosen bridge... Stand in the light, cast your shadow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes, the surprise is Kepler 452B - a planet very similar to Earth in the Milky Way, that could well have liquid water on the surface. Kepler 452B is 1400 light years from us, orbits its star every 385 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
