If it's crap... We'll tell you
Apparently we found another earth like planet
Well except for the obvious fact that it is a lava planet and it sits way way way too close to the sun. This is what scientists had to say.... "This is a major discovery in the field of trying to find life elsewhere in the universe". How is finding a giant flaming planet a major discovery when looking for life. That planet isn't anywhere close to sustaining life.
Does this "science" tickle anybody else a lil funny?

"Four planets in our solar system are rocky: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars."
"Now that another rocky planet has been found so close to its own star, it gives scientists more confidence that they'll find more Earth-like planets farther away"
"The evidence is becoming overwhelming that we live in a crowded universe," Boss said."
There is NO evidence whatsoever for living in a crowded universe. Saying it's real big is about the closest piece of "evidence" there is.

There are organisms that live in the lava on Earth. They feed on sulfur and shit. I guess it's more likely that something lives in there than on a ball of ice or gas which up until now --with the exception of mars-- is all we've ever found. So...yea I think it's pretty relevant. But I certainly wouldn't call it crowded. That's just retarded. I mean...that's why we call it SPACE. Because its not crowded.

It's a big deal because the planet is the first extrasolar planet known to have a solid surface. All other extrasolar planets we've discovered have been gas giants. It's exciting, but we're a far cry from discovering life outside the solar system, and even further from discovering intelligent life. It is typically assumed that only planets with a solid surface can support life, but this one that has just been discovered cannot because it is not within habitable distance (neither too close nor too far) of its sun.

Why is this a big deal?
The Sun, a dwarf star, is over a million times the size of Earth. Meaning many stars are much, much larger than our own.
That's a picture of Venus taken from a satellite in front of the Sun, and from fairly close, and we knew where to look. .
Now, try picking that out from Trillions of miles away, when the Star is likely much larger than our own. Doesn't sound easy, and it's not, that's why it's a big deal.

It's a big deal because it's hard to find? That doesn't sound so exciting to me. It sounds like they are trying to use this as proof that there could be life elsewhere when really there is no evidence to believe such a claim.
