I should be there to participate

I'm going to make every effort to attend. I have to practice doing my Internet searches within 9 seconds tho first.

---------------------------------


meanwhile on Risa.......

Eurrsky & Gareth are teaching there new pokemon pets how to swim...

I've had that happen before also but I'm going on two days now with no guild chat lol

I love hearing news from NASA. So exciting the accomplishments and strides we have made discovering space. I still read about the Voyager probes and their continuing missions in interstellar space.

I will be there, can't wait :evil:

I've had my guild chat vanish a few times but has popped back up a few hours later.

I'll be attending :)

BTW if anyone's tried to talk to me in guild chat I haven't heard it as my guild chat disappeared two days ago and has yet to return lol

It's incredible to hear such amazing planetary discoveries so far away from our own solar system. Hope we invent warp drive someday and be able to visit! B) Even within our own planetary neighborhood, we've been making wonderful discoveries from the Dawn, Rosetta, and New Horizons missions. I'm sure we will find life on another world (or comet) someday!

I'm also looking forward to NASA's next exoplanet hunter, TESS (The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, which will be launched in 2017! TESS will cover 400 times more sky than Kepler. It will identify thousands of new planets, specifically for planets comparable in size to the Earth, creating good candidates for further research and observations from the James Webb Telescope. :D

SEE YOU ORE THERE!!


i see what u did there :pinch:

will there be pork [epohh] scratchings? :woohoo:

Just wait for the James Webb space telescope to be launched in 2017. The instruments aboard will be much more sensitive than those on the Kepler spacecraft, and will be able to measure compositions of the atmosphere of exoplanets, with precision that will allow us to image them to some extent.

As far as leaving our solar system, i doubt that will be a reality in our lifetime, but nonetheless we truly live in exciting times with discoveries like these!!

I too believe it is only a matter of time before life in some form is discovered beyond Earth.

Finding a plant orbiting the exact same kind of star, at the same distance, and with the exact composition is possible considering the countless stars that exist.

However, we'll find another habitable planet long before then.

Earth 2.0 is being attached to every planet discovered when it is the current most "earth-like".

Kepler 186f was continually called earth 2.0 ... a quick google search:

I was saying that it's only a matter of time before a REAL earth 2.0 is discovered. One that shares exactly the same characteristics as Earth.

Kepler-452b is being called Earth 2.0
