Now that we know there are other possibly habitable planets, SpaceX better figure out how to evacuate us to them soon. Otherwise the ‘fake news’ Global Warming will have us all drowning…

The frequency mentioned in #4 is not enough to tell us the distance. A large planet would have the same frequency (year) as a smaller planet that’s closer to the star.

Leaving is impossible and nothing is less hard than fixing our own planet. Or else the coming generations will have to get use to terrible conditions all over the planet. Better work on setting up a place to live on Antarctica which is starting to get green in spots.

Spectrum analysis will tell us if the planet has cream fillings.

Hasn’t Winky already been there?

If it’s just plain cake donuts, don’t bother.

You can also determine the number of planets, their size, and distance from the star from the star’s wobbling.

I thought Trappist monks only made beer. So now they do donuts to go with the beer? Sweet!

SPLEEN!

Very interesting.

In a few years they are going to send up a telescope much bigger than the Hubble or Webb. They are hoping to be able to use it to analyze atmosphere of distant planets. It is amazing the science behind all this.

I’m not going to start packing yet.

I thought 232 trillion was the current amount of the U.S. deficit… ;)
