Nasa to hold major announcement after artificial intelligence makes major planet-hunting breakthrough
The mysterious discovery was made by harnessing Google's machine learning prowess
Andrew Griffin Monday 11 December 2017
NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has gazed at more than 150,000 stars and continues to transmit back data that leads to important discoveries of celestial objects in our galaxy, including first-time observations of planets outside our solar system

Nasa is holding a major press conference after its planet-hunting telescope made a new breakthrough.
The Kepler space telescope is operated by Nasa to discover other earths, some of which could support life. And it is has found its latest discovery, one significant enough to bring with it a huge press conference.
Very little further information was given about the announcement, which will take place on Thursday. But it will almost certainly relate to exoplanets – Earth-sized worlds that orbit around their own stars, and are our best hope of finding alien life.

I really cant wait. Sorry not sure how to embed. Most likely not an announcement of discovering life but who knows.

Hey there is always hope.
NASA's Kepler space telescope team has released a mission catalog of planet candidates that introduces 219 new candidates, 10 of which are near-Earth size and orbiting in their star's habitable zone, which is the range of distance from a star where liquid water could pool on the surface of a rocky planet.
This is the most comprehensive and detailed catalog release of candidate exoplanets, which are planets outside our solar system, from Kepler's first four years of data. It's also the final catalog from the spacecraft's view of the patch of sky in the Cygnus constellation.
With the release of this catalog, derived from data publicly available on the NASA Exoplanet Archive, there are now 4,034 planet candidates identified by Kepler. Of those, 2,335 have been verified as exoplanets. Of roughly 50 near-Earth size habitable zone candidates detected by Kepler, more than 30 have been verified.
Depending of the temperature of the star, its surface features may vary. Cool stars have molecules like Titanium oxide on the surface, while hot stars have ionized atoms. So you can see that stars come in a HUGE variety which can boggle our minds.

Now i'm depressed again, even alternate realities sound lame.

Indeed!
I have been disappointed so many times I have lost some of my enthusiasm. Thank you for the pick me up!

It is just that NASA has a habit of overblowing the lead-in in comparision to the actual announcement.
Diamonds and gold in that dimension are like chunks of old burnt out coal.
I think we are the only life in eternity apart from the dimension of the Elohim.

So, in the entire history of a Universe so vast it boggles the mind, you don't believe there is other Life, but you believe in an invisible man in the sky who watches everything we do and judges whether we suffer for eternity or get rewarded.
Ever seen this?
Hubble Ultra Deep Field. 10,000 Galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars and trillions of planets....but in all that, we're it, huh?
How arrogant.
