Super-Neptune Planet Found

yea it gets smaller what they found .. so hope for more found that are more smaller than that! and of course they are working on it!
 
120 light years away from Earth...damn that would take FOREVER to get there lol. Very interesting.

That's what was said about the moon a long time ago. There are people who see the impossible as a challenge to solve a problem. I'm sure that sometime in the future, it'll be possible to visit planets that were considered "too far" today. :)

120 light years is a long time to get there even at light speed, it would take 120 years at 12 million miles per hour to reach the destination.

yep.... the fastest ship that star trek has is 9.9 War Speed but let's just assume warp 9. That would mean it'll take:

5.782 hrs to cross 1 light year
120 light year = 693.84 hours
693.84 hours = 28.91 days

warp 1 is the speed of light
warp 9 is the 9x the speed of light
as stated in Star Trek - warp 10 is impossible but it was theoretically stated that when achieving warp 10, the speed is infinite. You can be anywhere with a blink of eye.
