But I am failing to see anything but a vague coincidence sort of like me predicting there will be an earthquake in the Pacific Rim today...

Wolf 1061 exoplanet: 'Super-Earth' discovered only 14 light-years away

Scientists have just discovered the nearest habitable planet to Earth.
The new world is one of three surrounding a red dwarf star called Wolf 1061, which is just 14 light years away. It was detected by scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia.
All three planets have the potential to be solid and rocky, but only Wolf 1061c exists within the "Goldilocks zone" -- a distance from the star (much smaller and cooler than our sun) that is not too hot and not too cold for liquid water.
"This rare discovery is incredibly exciting," UNSW's Duncan Wright, who led the study, told CNN.
"Other planets found that are habitable are not nearly this close to Earth. Because of the close proximity of this planet to us, there is good opportunity to find out more about it."

So you read an article the day prior to an official announcement to a broader audience, and predicted it would be past pluto...

I am afraid that I do not deserve congratulations. It would seem that I didn't dream of something about to happen, but actually of something as it was happening. Apparently the discovery was already made the 16th, a few hours before I dreamt of it, and popularized the 17th.

I haven't read about it before dreaming! What is so bloody hard to understand?
I should have never written this thread.
