Super Earths, eh?

so far they found around 270 planets out there..

yea super earths were found recently.. but we still not know what they have.. but only size yes... super earth is a bigger than earth but smaller than neptune or uranus (which are smaller than saturn). to me, it means that more like heavier gas or heavier something you weigh yourself on earth .. therefore it might not have something real live there.. but still i dont know at all! 42 light years aways is very very far aways if you want to go there.. too long time to get there.. it more like over million years to get there..

so there are no proof that if it is out there .... not yet.. so wait and see..
i heard one something that make very very high tech telescope that can see very very tiny planets into the star 's bright light that was someting we all cant see what is in the bright light at the star.. all planets that we found were in the bright lights.. how they found?? there are some tech way without to use telescope..
it called gavitional (sp) wobble or something.. i dont remmy the spell but that is..

it means someting machine that keep report every time so it keeps tracking.. it takes very very long time.. until they figure out on there paper something look like earthquake mark.. then they can idenfity them as planets.. that is how they found so far..

Now it is more than 300 planets so far.

Don't be surprised that the planet hunters will find between 50 to 100 extrasolar planets this year. Maybe next year or so we will finally see a real image of one of those extrasolar planets.

Yes, they are actually finding a lot of Earth-like planets now. I believe there is life out there, too. :)

Definitely there are many habitable planets in our universe; therefore, it is very possible that there is life there.

Who knows the aliens use their telescopes to check on our beautiful planet if they have this kind of technology? :)
 
We need to create and have warp speed or faster than light (FTL) technology ready for these interstellar trips to the new planets.
 
royale yea they found over 300 by now.. even they didnt say.. they are still working on it.. until right time to announce to public..

Yes right. They need some time to have their findings verified and confirmed first by their fellow astronomers who are directly not involved with their projects before they can make their announcements.
 
Too bad we don't have the technology to go light years to reach other planets that aren't so far away. Light years may sound fast, but still can take years to get there.
