How do we know the temperature of this planet?

Why should we believe what eso says when nasa has been caught redhanded lying about mars and venus?

Because ESO is not NASA.

No worries. We'll just use HAARP to blow it up

What lies has NASA been "caught" at?

kepler mission is looking at stars between 500-3000 light years away and is our best chance of finding an earth analogue.

other nasa funded searches using ground based telescopes look at closer stars but theyre mostly red dwarf stars very diffirent from ours.

no earth analogue whic is an earth size planet in earth like orbit around g type star has been found yet. Kepler has some super earths in the HZ of sun-like stars (kepler 22b)

I guess the gliese system is the closest but its a red dwarf star.

check my prediction from October 2010

the 3 ongoing searches of alpha centauri for planets have come up blank so far but the search isnt finished. Centauri B looks a better bet if we're hoping for planets.

this planet was found around centauri B

This is really great news as the centauri system is quite a poor candidate for planets so we got lucky here.

i think there must be more planets around this star but it will take a long time to find them.

Apparently they think a planet only can have life if it is exactly like earth.

No the thinking is, that only earthlike planets can support "human", life. If we want to take the next step, we have to have a place we can survive.

The mainstreme belief is that life can exist in many different environments (even possibly here in our own solar system), but for Humans to exist outside our own system, we need planets we can live on..

Hence the search for more earth like worlds.

But I'd wager an Earth like planet would be just as lethal to us as a barren world, if not more so. Just like hundreds of years ago when people explored our world by ship and met people in other cultures and spread disease, the same could be said when entering a new planet's ecosystem that we've never been exposed to before.

There's a very high chance someone would get sick, and it's possible we'd be destroyed fairly instantly from a biological incompatibility point of view. So whether we find an Earth like planet or not, we'd have to wear extremely protective suits.

But then I think, it'd be safer setting up a colony base on a barren world than an Earth like one, because on an Earth like one with a flourishing ecosystem, there's always a chance that contaminants could enter the facility by accident. At least with a barren world ...well there's nothing there so there's a much lower chance of bio contamination and complete colony wipe out.

One more thing is, even if we don't get sick straight away, there's always the chance that a virus could stay dormant for a while and then decimate Earth's population as people come and go from planet to planet.

One thing sci-fi never really addressed was the idea of contamination to this degree, and how it diminishes the practicality of colonisation.

No. The thinking is that liquid water is one of the prime requisites for the development of life. "Earthlike", in it's most basic sense, means a rocky (as opposed to gaseous) planet of sufficient size to maintain a reasonable atmosphere and which resides within the correct proximity to its star in order that water can exist in its liquid state.


Right now we only have the ability to determine the size of the planet and the distance from its star.

You mean the "Goldi-locks" type zone?

2nd line.

Yes.
That is the phrase used.

So it's 19th. What has been discovered?

It's finally been discovered that some humans would rather look into a telescope and spend billions of dollars on something that they cannot ever reach but is blatantly obvious is there whilst other humans starve.

Why not find out for yourself?

I googled "hollow earth theory" and got 1,990,000 results in 0.28 seconds. Do I need to paste the proof?

I googled "spaceship moon theory" and got 1,890,000 results in 0.33 seconds. Do I need to paste the proof?

People like you are either too lazy or too scared to find out the truth. Much easier to ridicule I suppose...

It's parallax.

How do we know the temperature of this planet?

The color of it's sun, it's sun's temperature, and the inverse square law.

Why should we believe what eso says when nasa has been caught redhanded lying about mars and venus?

Because the European Southern Observatory isn't NASA!

Of course, if you don't like facts and logic, there's always the UFO forum.

I have researched those ideas (for sh*ts & giggles), Not that I needed to as anyone with a basic understanding of geology knows that they are not hollow. If you've got PROOF of of hollow earth/moon then yeah by all means paste it, Show it to the world and become famous, Maybe a Nobel prize, But you wont because you haven't got proof, Google results are not proof by the way, I searched "elephants can fly" I got results, Doesn't make it true though does it.

So you basically believe whatever the establishment wants you to believe? Trust me there is evidence and proof is what people make of the evidence. I found plenty of evidence but unlike you I put in the hours and made my own decision.

Just for "#s and giggles" is pseudo-scientific because you already have a bias. But that is what science always has been PSEUDO-science! Not too long ago the church insisted people believe the earth was flat and everyone with a different opinion was hanged as a heretic. Today the babylonian brotherhood of sin uses mockery and peer pressure.

Actually, it's called believing the evidence they can see right in front of them.

Rather than believing any crackpot schizo idea just because it came from someone who's not with 'the establishment'. If there is evidence and proof, you would supply it. It's not a decision...it either is or isn't. In this case it most obviously isn't as any geologist can readily testify. Which, before you say it, the majority of specialists such as geologists, etc, are not part of this 'establishment' you speak of.

Either way, you need to take your inane blabbering to a thread and forum that actually has something to do with that sort of insanity. This is a thread about the discovery of a planet fairly close to the size of Earth around our closest neighbor. You know, something based out of real science and therefore has no place for someone who will obviously believe anything as long as it doesn't come from someone with the proper credentials.
